PREFACE
About This Book
Cultures around the world have used alcoholic beverages throughout recorded history. Alcohol has been used to treat medical complaints, in religious ceremonies, celebrations, and to increase conviviality in social gatherings. Despite its widespread acceptance, however, societies have struggled to address the negative effects associated with its misuse. Alcoholic beverages come in different forms, such as spirits, beer, wines, or cocktails, and servings can contain vastly different amounts of pure alcohol. But, all these beverages share a common concern: Teens should not drink them. Each year approximately 5,000 young people die under the age of 21 due to underage drinking and that includes about 1,900 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, 1,600 of homicides, 300 in suicide, and hundreds from other injuries.
Alcohol Information for Teens, Fifth Edition provides updated information about the use and misuse of alcohol. It describes ways alcohol can affect mental and physical health. It discusses the special vulnerabilities of the teen brain and the changes in brain functioning that lead to dependency on alcohol. A section on treatment and recovery discusses achieving and maintaining sobriety, and a section on alcohol abuse in the family addresses the special concerns of teens who live with an alcoholic relative. The book concludes with resource directories for finding help or more information about alcohol and substance abuse.
How to Use This Book
This book is divided into parts and chapters. Parts focus on broad areas of interest; chapters are devoted to single topics within a part.
Part 1: An Overview of Alcohol Use and Abuse explains the use and misuse of alcohol and how it becomes a poison at a certain stage. It also talks about the facts and statistics of teenage drinking in both men and women. It also identifies adult drinking patterns that have not been linked to adverse consequences, and it provides details about other patterns – such as binge drinking, underage drinking, and heavy drinking that can seriously impact health.
Part 2: Underage Drinking begins with an insight on the state of underage drinking that starts under the age of 21. It talks about the underage drinking in America based on statistical data. And it also contains information on the consequences that affect the teenage and college drinkers.
Part 3: Alcohol’s Physical Effects discusses what happens inside your body while consuming alcohol. It also describes the factors that contribute to blood alcohol concentration (BAC), and how increasing BAC plays a role in hampering physical and mental functioning. Some of the most common circumstances in which alcohol can damage other organs and bones or contribute to cancer development are also described. The part concludes with information about the devastating ways alcohol can affect fetal development.
Part 4: Mental Health and Behavioral Risks Associated with Alcohol explains the process by which addiction develops and discusses how alcohol use can contribute to risky or violent behaviors. And it also describes how the alcohol affects the mental health and leads to sucide, hangover, sexual risk behaviors, date rape, and impaired driving.
Part 5: Alcoholism, Treatment, and Recovery talks about teens who rethink drinking and want to quit and also explains about teens who want to understand the challenges faced by others, who are struggling to achieve and maintain sobriety, as well as covers information on treatment and prevention options for teenage alcohol users.
Part 6: Alcoholism and Family addresses teens who live in an uncertain or inconsistent home environment because they have a parent, grandparent, sibling, or other close relative or caregiver with an alcohol-use disorder (AUD). It explains some of the challenges often experienced in relationship patterns and answers questions about the role of family history in the development of alcohol addiction.
Part 7: If You Need More Information provides directories of resources for additional help about alcohol and other substance abuse concerns.
