Alcohol-related harm

Alcohol-related harm refers to the negative effects caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages. This can include a range of issues such as health problems (like liver disease, heart issues, and certain cancers), social problems (like family conflict, job loss, and accidents), and psychological issues (like depression and anxiety). It affects not only the drinker but also their family and community. Understanding this harm is crucial for promoting responsible drinking, improving public health, and supporting those affected by alcohol misuse or dependence. Recognizing the signs and seeking help can mitigate its impact on individuals and society.
