Alcohol is made as plant sugars in fruits come into contact with a fungus called yeast and they begin to ferment; as they rot, they will excrete a toxic substance called ethanol or ethyl alcohol--or simply alcohol. In the fermentation process, the yeast continues to feed on the plant sugars, thus the alcohol concentration levels rise; once these levels get closer to 14 percent, the yeast dies, quite literally, of alcohol poisoning.
Experts in the field of substance abuse recommend that an alcoholic have professional supervision if they are to undergo alcohol detox; when an alcohol suddenly withdraws from alcohol, they may experience delirium tremens, which could potentially be deadly.
Sixty percent of college women diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease were under the influence of alcohol at the time of infection.
In severe cases of alcoholism, individuals may begin to experience delirium tremens ('the DTs') when they withdraw from alcohol; this condition in alcoholics can be fatal.
