Binge Drinking Binds Youth to Health Problems

Those who start drinking later in life and maintain more moderate drinking patterns can breathe a sigh of relief as the risk is far lower fro them. The study was led by Dr. Amy Fan, of the Prevention Research Center, and will be published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).
It also indicated that the increased risks were independent of the total amount of alcohol consumed over a lifetime, or whether or not people stopped or curtailed drinking as they matured. "To fully understand the effect of alcohol consumption on health, you need to consider lifetime drinking patterns," said senior co-author of the study Dr. Marcia Russell of the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation's Prevention Research Center in Berkeley, Calif.,
She added: "Early initiation of alcohol drinking and heavy drinking in adolescence and early adulthood seem to be associated with a number of adverse health effects collectively known as the metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome describes a cluster of metabolic risk factors that increase the chances of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The exact cause of this syndrome is unknown, but genetic factors, too much body fat (especially in the waist area), and lack of exercise increase the risk of developing the condition.
