Alcohol Awareness

 Drinking too much alcohol increases people’s risk of health-related injuries, violence, drowning, liver disease, and some types of cancer.
The good news? We can all do our part to prevent alcohol misuse or abuse.
Make a difference: Spread the word about strategies for preventing alcohol misuse or abuse and encourage communities, families, and individuals to get involved.
How can Alcohol Awareness make a difference?
We can use this month to raise awareness about alcohol abuse and take action to prevent it, both at home and in the community.
Here are just a few ideas:
• Encourage friends or family members to make small changes, like keeping track of their drinking and setting drinking limits.
• Share tips with parents to help them talk with their kids about the risks of alcohol use.
• Ask doctors and nurses to talk to their patients about the benefits of drinking less or quitting.
