Effects of alcohol, explain or post urls

[crayonofdoom]

I am doing a health project where I will be putting up posters around my high school about binge drinking/underage alcohol use. I don't want the same old posters we all see everyday, so I came here since it's geared toward high schoolers and many of them want 'great bodies', use alot of alcohol, etc. I think this board was a great board to request urls, or effects on the body at. Please post or explain:

both long and short-term effects-
symptoms of abuse, signs-
legal ramifications-
effects on an unborn child-
statistics-
or anything else you deem important.

Dont' get me wrong here, I'm not asking you to do my homework, that would be nice haha , but I'm already about 2/3 the way done with it all, but just wanted to see if I missed anything from all the fitness head's perspective.

The main thing is if any of you can post some urls or even minimum input that would be a great help, thanks!

Are there any Law enforcement officers here?

Well, I'll tell you this, a 2 month drinking binge and being off my diet, along with a lack of exercise put about 15lbs on me. 15!!!!!!!!!!

What effect does Alcohol have on the bodies ability to digest carbs, protein, and fat?

From what I can gather it sort of cuts in the line of the metabolization process and when it is consumed is metabolized immediately, meaning if the alcohol consumed was all that was needed to supply the body's current energy needs, whatever else was in your system at the time has a very good chance of getting stored as fat or excreted.

"Although Flintstones vitamins probably do not impact T, many recreational, prescription, and OTC drugs do. Lets start with everyone's favorite drug, alcohol. In my opinion, alcohol is the single best legal Testosterone suppressor known to mankind. And you don't need a biochemistry experiment to realize that. Just look at the physique of any alcoholic for the evidence. And not only do chronic alcoholics suffer from low T as a result of sippin' a cold one. Numerous studies have shown that even one night on the town can cause T levels to plummet.

In one particular study, men consumed the equivalent of giving 200 ml of alcohol to a 176-lb man. While intoxicated, T levels were 25% lower on average than before consumption. In addition, the time course of T decrease correlated exactly with blood alcohol so when blood alcohol was the highest, blood T was the lowest.(17) With even lower doses, T levels remained suppressed for 10-16 hours, even after blood alcohol returned to normal.(23,24) "
