Often those closest to an alcoholic find it difficult to see and acknowledge that someone they know and care about can be an alcoholic. They may believe the promises that the alcoholic keeps making. However, with time, repeated breaking of these promises can force those living with the alcoholic to face the truth.
Alcohol is the most frequently used drug by high school seniors, and its use is increasing.
According to a recent study by the Center for Alcohol Research in Denmark, people who drink are more likely to be apple-shaped; thus explaining the term "beer belly" which is often used in describing someone who drinks regularly and has the physical characteristics of this body type.
Among high school youth, over 8% of eighth graders, 16% of sophomores, and 24% of seniors report recent binge drinking (5+ alcoholic drinks on the same occasion).
