Use of alcohol without regulations leads to many critical issues in society and it’s a global concern. Teenagers and young adults who got addicted suffered more issues related to mental and physical health as well as their careers.
Many people start consuming alcohol to overcome the stress/tension and slowly become addicted. This addiction snatches everything from them. In case addicted people suddenly stop drinking they experience physical, mental and emotional traumas.
In today’s world many crimes are witnessed and 90% of all crimes are linked to people who were over drunk or having traces of alcohol in their body. After consuming alcohol people lose control and become violent in behaviour.
In societies, the addicted population is increasing and this has led to domestic violence. Addicted people do not pay any attention towards family and their well being.
More utilisation of alcohol is associated with less awareness and lack of education among the people. In countries like India alcohol is served at every occasion without any boundations, to overcome the situations of excessive usage of alcohol some legislative measures are to be imple
Awareness programmes need to be organised to educate people about the effects of alcohol. Guidelines to be issued for bars and vendors regarding the time and quantity to be served.
Counseling and healing centres need to be operated for addicted people so that their treatment can be done in an effective way.
