Facts

  • Alcohol withdrawal syndrome is likely to occur within a week, but usually occurs within 24 hours of the individual's last drink.
  • Mixing prescription drugs with alcohol can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, drowsiness, fainting, or loss of coordination.
  • Valium causes a similar change in the brain's reward-inducing dopamine cells as a dose of alcohol, morphine, amphetamine or cocaine.
  • Opiates such as heroin convert to morphine in the body which then activates opiate receptors located throughout the brain and central nervous system, including within the reward system.
