Alcohol misuse
Alcohol misuse refers to drinking alcohol in a way that is harmful or problematic, such as drinking heavily, frequently, or in ways that impair daily functioning and health. It can lead to physical issues like liver damage, mental health problems, and increased risk of accidents or injuries. It may also affect relationships, work, and overall well-being. While moderate alcohol consumption might be safe for some, misuse involves patterns that can cause significant consequences, and recognizing problematic drinking is important for seeking support and improving health.
