The Toll of Alcohol Use Disorder
Alcohol addiction is a progressive disease that affects every aspect of a person’s life. Chronic drinking damages the liver, heart and nervous system; it also increases the risk of cancer, depression and anxiety. Social consequences include strained relationships, lost productivity and legal problems. Because alcohol is widely available and socially accepted, many people underestimate its potential for harm until it is deeply entrenched.
Recognising the Signs
Symptoms of alcohol addiction include an inability to control drinking, continued use despite negative consequences, preoccupation with obtaining alcohol and withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, sweating and irritability. If you or someone you care about meets these criteria, professional support is essential.
