Drinking alcohol can affect an individual's self control, because it depresses your central nervous system and lowers inhibitions and impairs judgment; drinking can lead to risky behaviors, such as drunk driving and having unprotected sex.
The World Health Organization estimates that about 76 million people throughout the world suffer from alcohol-related disorders.
It is common for someone who has drunk an excessive amount of alcohol to vomit since alcohol is an irritant to the stomach; at the point of vomiting, there can be a danger of choking, which could cause death by asphyxiation in a person who is not conscious because of intoxication.
Studies on the negative health effects of alcohol abuse have consistently reported that alcohol causes a great amount of gastrointestinal irritation, particularly of the stomach and esophagus.
