Your life may be one big party. But no one likes to hang with the guy who "can't hold his liquor..." or the girl who is "always out of control." Could that be you?

Few students think about the problematic effects of continuous heavy drinking. Suddenly the party's over and you find yourself a "feverish, shaky, paranoid halfwit, struggling to think, sleep relax or eat."

Here’s what you could consider before you break out that beer bong:

1. What's really happening to your brain every time you drink heavily? Understanding how damaging alcohol is to your body and brain is essential.
2. What's your family history with alcohol? Heredity plays into the demise of a heavy drinker.
3. The process of alcoholism is stealthy. It creeps up little-by-little. It's progressive and the damage it causes to relationships and behavior becomes chronic.
