Currently it is possible to measure brain alcohol levels without putting a probe in the brain; a relatively new testing method that is called magnetic resonance spectroscopy is able to measure the alcohol levels in different parts of the brain.
Positive alcohol expectancies or the belief that consuming alcohol will lead to positive, pleasurable experiences plays an important role in the drinking behavior of young adults.
A recent report stated that adolescents who reported that they consumed alcohol heavily were four times more likely to commit theft outside the home than non-drinking adolescents.
Research of the brain found that older subjects with alcoholism exhibited more brain tissue loss than younger subjects with alcoholism, often despite similar total lifetime alcohol consumption. These results suggest that aging may render a person more susceptible to alcohol's effects.
