Alcohol,
the most widely used legal drug in the country, produces a sense of euphoric
relaxation, lowers inhibitions, impairs motor coordination and judgment.
Girls get drunk faster because alcohol metabolizes differently in their
bodies. Long term effects of drinking include damage to liver, heart and
brain. Alcohol overdose from heavy or binge drinking produces shallow
breathing, cold and clammy skin, weak and rapid pulse, coma and possible
death.
