Alcohol decreases activity in parts of the brain; this may partially explain the uninhibited behavior of an individual that has had "a few too many".
A study in Midwestern states found that 46% of ninth graders who reported drinking alcohol in the previous month said they obtained the alcohol from a person aged 21 or older.
Excessive alcohol use is commonly involved in sexual assault. Impaired judgment caused by alcohol may worsen the tendency of some men to mistake a womens friendly behavior for sexual interest and misjudge their use of force. Also, alcohol use by men increases the chances of engaging in risky sexual activity including unprotected sex, sex with multiple partners, or sex with a partner at risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
In the United States today, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is reported to be the third most common cause that is related to cases of mental retardation.
