Surveys report that among persons older than 65, those with alcoholism are approximately three times more likely to exhibit a major depressive disorder than those without alcoholism.
Blackouts most likely occur because the function of the hippocampus, the part of the brain that registers memory, is depressed by alcohol; whether these memories do not get registered or whether they become registered but cannot be retrieved, have not been determined.
In 2008 the National Survey on Drug Use and Health reported that 28% of youth aged 12 to 20 years drink alcohol and 19% reported binge drinking.
According to the most recent National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), over 10 million youth under the age of 20 are reported to be underage drinkers.
