Alcohol is known to be both physically and mentally addicting and also acts on the GABA system, among many other neurological systems in the brain.

Binge drinking, or periods of increased alcohol consumption over a short period of time followed by abstinence, can lead to increased hangover symptoms and withdrawal symptoms. The increasing severity of withdrawal symptoms can increase the risk of [[seizures]] due to withdrawals. | ||
==Opiates== | ==Opiates== | ||
Opiates also present kindling with both the acceleration of withdrawal symptom development and the worsening of withdrawals over binge using periods. Once opiate addiction has been achieved with one substance, any other opiate will present kindling symptoms. This is true even with potent opiates like [[heroin]] and the subsequent use of less potent opiates like [[codeine]]. Once an individual has developed a physical dependency on opiates any opiate will produce kindling effects. | |||
