Alcohol damage on people

           Alcohol misuse can adversely affect individuals’ physical, mental, social as well as cultural well-being if they over indulge. For example, alcohol abuse or addiction can lead to diseases, accidents and disturbances in family life.

          There are at least four key factors that must be taken into account when considering the results of this investigation. First, the society must be considered. This includes the government, families, friends and organizations. Second, the effects on mental and physical health must be considered. Third, the importance of alcohol to social events must be considered, as well as its contribution to culture. Finally, the problems that alcohol use can lead to, including criminal activity, must be evaluated.

Alcohol Misuse Among Australians

     Alcohol misuse is common in Australia today. Many social issues, including misuse of alcohol, negatively affect the Australian population.
 

      Excessive alcohol consumption, including beer, wine, and spirits, is prevalent within the population, but can be dangerous. While moderate drinking might not pose health hazards, excessive drinking has a number of negative effects. As a result, a number of policy assessments have been developed to evaluate the current drinking “culture” in Australia.
