Alcohol is not fattening. Alcohol is a stimulant. Alcohol is a food. An alcohol overdose can be fatal. Whiskey taken straight will affect you more than whiskey diluted with water or other beverages.
Alcoholism is the second ranking disease in the United States today.
Alcohol effects everyone the same way. You can sober up quickly by drinking black coffee and dousing your head with cold water. Even small amounts of alcohol can damage body organs. Intoxication and alcoholism are the same thing. If you only drink beer, you can't become an alcoholic.
