Alcohol Abuse

imageAdults in the U.S. enjoy drinking alcohol.  The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reports that over 50 percent of U.S adults reported drinking at least one alcoholic drink per month. Most people drink alcohol responsibly, but some people develop drinking problems, including heavy drinking, binge drinking, and alcoholism. Alcohol can also contribute to other health problems, such as birth defects, violence, and accidents, and even death.  To get answers to all your alcohol abuse questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites.
