Denial is perhaps the hugest obstacle to getting help for alcoholism; the desire to drink can be so strong that the mind finds a way to rationalize drinking. Denial exacerbates alcohol related problems by keeping the individual from looking honestly at the negative effects of their drinking behavior.
"Problem drinking" is generally defined as any consumption of alcohol that results in significant risk of physical damage, psychological problems, accidents, and social or domestic problems.
One half of car accidents are associated with alcohol abuse.
Women have less water in their bodies than men, so after a man and woman of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman's blood alcohol concentration will tend to be higher.
