Drug Research
Topiramate (Topamax), an anticonvulsant drug used to treat epilepsy, is showing promise as a treatment for alcohol dependence. In a 2007 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, patients who took topiramate had fewer heavy drinking days, fewer drinks per day, and more days of not drinking at all than patients who received placebo.
Alcohol and Heart Disease
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death among people who are heavy drinkers.

Definition
Intersex is a group of conditions where there is a discrepancy between the external genitals and the internal genitals (the testes and ovaries).
The older term for this condition, hermaphroditism, came from joining the names of a Greek god and goddess, Hermes and Aphrodite. Hermes was a god of male sexuality (among other things) and Aphrodite a goddess of female sexuality, love, and beauty.
