Ethanol, aka "alcohol", is perhaps the most widely consumed drug on Earth. With the exception of its effects on heart disease, few people would claim it is good for you. But, because of its legality, omnipresence, and just the fact that it is so much fun, most think very little of having a few beers or even a few six packs. However, it is far from being a harmless vice, even in non-alcoholics. It affects numerous neurotransmitters, metabolic processes, and hormones -- and many of these effects go beyond the time period of intoxication. These have ramifications, not only for general health, but as you will see, body composition as well.  Alcohol seems to be the drink of choice for most college students.  College students love to party on the weekends and consume alcohol to relieve stress that come from school during the week.  Many college students that drink are underage but not a lot of people care that college students are drinking illegally.  It’s the kind of behavior to be expected for college students to be doing.  Most people don’t always start drinking in college, many people start drinking underage when they’re in high school. A single study found, if a society believes that intoxication leads to Sexual behavior, rowdy behavior, or aggression, then people tend to act that way when intoxicated. But if a society believes that intoxication leads to relaxation and tranquil behavior, then it usually leads to those outcomes. Alcohol expectations vary within a society, so these outcomes are not certain.
