A sustainable approach towards prevention and treatment of hepatic and other disorders associated with alcohol consumption

Abstract

Background: Alcohol has been used for centuries in many different civilizations. It is a psychoactive stimulant with addictive properties. Alcohol misuse has significant negative social, economic, and health effects. Abusing alcohol can cause harm to oneself as well as to relatives, coworkers, close companions, and total strangers. Alcohol usage contributes to more than 200 diseases, accidents, and other health problems. Drinking alcohol is associated with a higher chance of developing significant non-communicable illnesses such liver cirrhosis, a number of cancers, cardiovascular diseases, as well as behavioral and mental disorders like alcoholism. Objective: Abuse of alcohol does not occur suddenly. People becoming addicted to various alcoholic beverages is a problem that results from months and years of irresponsible drinking. The process of recovering from the issue in turn includes targeted, particular methods for raising awareness of the negative effects of alcohol usage. Conclusion: Due to the heightened risks for one's bodily and mental health along with the social issues it generates, alcohol consumption results in these costs. We discuss the three areas of the epidemiology of alcohol's impact on health and diseases, the public health approach for treating problems related to alcohol use,and advancements in alcohol science.
