Children that consume alcohol before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop alcoholism compared to those who drink after the age of 21.
According to a study that was conducted by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), decades of heavy drinking can create damage to brain cells; this is particularly true as it pertains to the hippocampus, which is the portion of the brain that controls memory.
When a person consumes alcohol, their eye-hand coordination is also affected as well as the ability to perform more than one task at a time. Add in the lack of judgment and you're dealing with some major performance issues throughout the day. Simple things like watching for oncoming traffic are forgotten, which puts you and others in harms way.
An estimated 20% of alcoholics who try to quit drinking on their own without medical assistance die of alcohol withdrawal delirium.
