Facts

  • When people mix cocaine and alcohol the dangers associated with the use of these substances are compounded, and the human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects while also increasing the risk of sudden death.
  • Studies indicate that youth who consume alcohol before the age of 15 are five times more likely to become alcohol dependent than adults who begin drinking at age 21.
  • With aging, the amount of water in the body is at lower levels and alcohol therefore becomes more concentrated.
  • One night of heavy alcohol consumption can impair one's ability to think abstractly for up to 30 days.
