Strengthening drunken driving laws and increasing taxes on alcohol appear to help curb alcohol abuse in the United States according to the Lancet review.
In the United States many deaths occur as a result of intoxicated people falling asleep or passing out before extinguishing a cigarette.
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
Brain scan studies suggest that the brain anatomy of an alcoholic begins to return to normal within six months of abstinence; however, cognitive function has not always been reported to return when the brain scans appear normal.
