Answer to Question 1

Drinking is a problem if it causes trouble in your relationships, in school, in social activities, or in how you think and feel. If you are concerned that either you or someone in your family might have a drinking problem, consult your student health center.
Alcoholism, which is known as alcohol dependence syndrome, is a disease that is characterized by a strong desire or compulsion to drink; a loss of control with an inability to stop drinking; a physical dependence that has withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, shakiness, and anxiety that are relieved by further drinking; and a tolerance for increasing amounts of alcohol.

Answer to Question 2


Food manufacturers produce a fat-free alternative to real half-and-half by adding a thickening agent called carrageen (made from seaweed) to skim milk. A typical serving (2 tablespoons) of fat-free half-and-half has about 20 kcal, whereas real half-and-half has about 40 kcal.
