Binge and heavy drinking may trigger a long-lasting genetic change, resulting in an even greater craving for alcohol.

"We found that people who drink heavily may be changing their DNA in a way that makes them crave alcohol even more," said Distinguished Professor Dipak K. Sarkar. "This may help explain why alcoholism is such a powerful addiction, and may one day contribute to new ways to treat alcoholism or help prevent at-risk people from becoming addicted."

"A General Pharmacology Overview of Substances is essential to addictions counselling, as having a basic understanding of Pharmacology is critical to treatment options and outcomes therefore, it will further inform your clinical practice."  Ian Robertson, MSW, RSW.
