  • A common cause of fire among intoxicated people is falling asleep or passing out before extinguishing a cigarette.
  • Though there are lots of so-called "hangover cures," the only real cure is time. The best thing to do the day after heavy drinking is down lots of water and try to rest if possible.
  • Treatment: NIAAA-supported researchers have made considerable progress in evaluating commonly used therapies and in developing new types of therapies to treat alcohol-related problems. One large-scale study sponsored by NIAAA found that each of three commonly used behavioral treatments for alcohol abuse and alcoholism-motivation enhancement therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and 12-step facilitation therapy-significantly reduced drinking in the year following treatment. This study also found that approximately one-third of the study participants who were followed up either were still abstinent or were drinking without serious problems 3 years after the study ended. Other therapies that have been evaluated and found effective in reducing alcohol problems include brief intervention for alcohol abusers (individuals who are not dependent on alcohol) and behavioral marital therapy for married alcohol-dependent individuals.
  • According to the Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a variety of prevention strategies have been implemented by colleges across the U.S. in an effort to reduce high-risk drinking and its consequences on college campuses, including programs that target freshmen, athletes, sorority and fraternity members, and students that violate college alcohol policies.
