Social and economic problems linked to alcohol abuse

(3)

Drinking too much alcohol is a habit with serious consequences. It affects your health, your family life, your behaviour and your pocket.

Health

First of all, drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health. It makes you sick. After a heavy night of drinking, you will not feel well. You are also more likely to have an accident while walking or driving home. Heavy drinking over a period of time will also affect your liver and other parts of your body.

Family life

Excessive drinking can have a very negative effect on families. Mothers who drink during pregnancy endanger their unborn babies. Family members suffer from anxiety, stress and even fear when either parent drinks a lot.

There are often violent disputes in families as a result of this. Drinking outside the home also leads parents to spend less time with their children.

Finances

There are many economic consequences for both poor and rich families when one or both parents spend too much money on alcohol.

People who drink too much may spend more time at home because they are sick. They may be too tired to work hard and that may result in them losing their jobs or earning lower wages. Some people may find that their expenditure becomes more than their earnings and they may start falling into debt. There may not be enough money to buy food and medicines for the family.

Behaviour

Domestic violence is often the result of excessive drinking. People who drink too much often abuse their partners and their children. At times, both the abuser and the victim have been drinking.
