"I just drink socially." REALITY: Drinking with other people doesn't make you a social drinker. Social drinkers might drink regularly but they don't get drunk. Nor does a social drinker exhibit any of the clinical signs of addiction to alcohol like out-of-control behavior while under the influence, inability to control alcohol cravings, and severe memory loss, like blackouts.
People under the age of 21 are exposed to about three television commercials per day which encourage them to drink alcohol.
One of the biggest examples of the effects of alcohol abuse is malnutrition. If you notice a reduced appetite from continuous drinking, then this is where it starts. It also leads to your intestinal track not being able to absorb vital nutrients. After all, alcohol provides empty calories.
Individuals that struggle with alcoholism need empathy and professional treatment; scientific research has clearly shown that punishment does not tend to reduce alcoholic drinking, except with alcohol abusers, who still have some measure of control over their drinking.
