Alcohol Abuse Data and Numbers
According to JAMA, alcohol use disorders have risen by almost 50% since 2002. Consequently, nearly 13% of the population currently faces alcohol abuse issues.
When broken down even further, individuals that are 65 years of age or older saw almost a 107% increase in alcohol use disorders. For 45–65-year-olds, the numbers grew dramatically by nearly 82%.
These numbers are concerning for a variety of reasons, including the current rise in substance abuse. With both drug and alcohol addiction on the rise, proper care and support are immensely important.
Side Effects of Alcohol Abuse
Alcohol effects vary depending on short-term and long-term abuse. Short-term effects can range from drowsiness to slurred speech and a lower body temperature. Sickness, nausea, and vomiting are common with excessive alcohol intake.
Long-term effects are much more concerning and threatening. For starters, depression is a common side effect. Furthermore, your long-term drinking habits could lead to liver disease, cancer, pancreatitis, and other diseases.
