A blackout is an amnesia-like period that is often associated with drinking. A person may be functioning normally, but later, the person has no memory of occurrences. During a blackout, an individual can participate in a significant, emotionally charged event but have no recollection of what occurred. When blood alcohol levels rise slowly, people are less likely to experience blackouts, even if they eventually become intoxicated.
Adolescents, age 12 to 17, who consume alcohol are more likely to report behavioral problems, especially aggressive, delinquent and criminal behaviors.
Tolerance is the need for larger amounts of alcohol to become intoxicated.
Alcohol metabolism permanently changes liver cell structure impairing the liver�''s ability to metabolize fats, which explains why heavy drinkers tend to develop fatty livers.
