What is alcohol abuse? Alcohol abuse is a health issue. It is characterized by a maladaptive pattern of drinking alcohol that results in negative work, medical, legal, educational, and/or social effects on a person's life. The individual who abuses this substance tends to continue to use it despite such consequences.
Youth who drink alcohol are more likely to experience legal problems, such as arrest for driving or physically hurting someone while drunk.
According to data from a study by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), heavy drinking can increase the risk for certain cancers, especially those of the liver, esophagus, throat, and larynx (voice box).
