Alcohol intoxication can be harmful for a variety of reasons, including: Impaired brain function resulting in poor judgment, reduced reaction time, loss of balance and motor skills, or slurred speech Dilation of blood vessels causing a feeling of warmth but resulting in rapid loss of body heat Increased risk of certain cancers, stroke, and liver diseases (e.g., cirrhosis), particularly when excessive amounts of alcohol are consumed over extended periods of time Damage to a developing fetus if consumed by pregnant women Increased risk of motor-vehicle traffic crashes, violence, and other injuries Coma and death can occur if alcohol is consumed rapidly and in large amounts
The primary function of the area of the brain which is known as the cortex is to maintain control over the rest of the brain; this area of the brain is depressed with the presence of even low doses of alcohol. This helps to explain why a person that is drinking is less inhibited and may have a loss of control over judgment.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety, during 2008, over 65 percent of fatal drunk-driving deaths involve drivers whose blood alcohol concentration is over the legal limit in their state.
According to the most recent Monitoring the Future National Survey on Drug Use, over thirty percent of all high school seniors in the United States have been drunk in the past month.
