Serious problems can result even from moderate drinking, for example, when driving, during pregnancy, or when taking certain prescription medications.
Alcohol decreases activity in parts of the brain; this may partially explain the uninhibited behavior of an individual that has had "a few too many".
Nearly one-third of the adults in the United States were classified as light drinkers, which is characterized as having three or less drinks within a week.
How does alcohol affect a person? Alcohol affects every organ in the body. It is a central nervous system depressant that is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver by enzymes; however, the liver can only metabolize a small amount of alcohol at a time, leaving the excess alcohol to circulate throughout the body. The intensity of the effect of alcohol on the body is directly related to the amount consumed.
