Full Description
Nationwide, nearly one in 13 people over the age of 12 has a drinking problem, including alcohol abuse or dependence. Millions more engage in risky drinking behaviours that jeopardize their health, relationships, productivity, and general well-being. Even moderate drinking -- a drink or two per day -- is now considered to be "low-risk" drinking, since any amount of alcohol may be risky in certain people under certain circumstances.
This report explores the many factors to consider when deciding how much (if any) alcohol is safe for you, including your age, gender, family history, and any medical conditions you may have. It also details the dangers of alcohol misuse, from drunk driving to chronic, life-threatening health conditions. This report also offers information on medications for alcohol use disorders, evidence-based therapies to support recovery, self-help groups, and ways to help a family member who may have a drinking problem.
