Alcohol is associated with many serious social and developmental issues, including violence, child neglect and abuse, and absenteeism in the workplace.
According to a large body of evidence which include information from several different medical studies, small amounts of alcohol may help to protect against coronary heart disease by raising levels of "good" HDL cholesterol and by possible reducing the risk of blood clots that sometimes form in coronary arteries.
Because alcoholism has a tendency to run in families, researchers are eager to isolate the genes that may influence a person's vulnerability to this condition; an individual's environment, such as peer pressure, being exposed to alcohol on a regular basis in the home while growing up, and the ease in which they can obtain liquor, also may influence drinking and the development of alcoholism.
Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to the development of chronic diseases, neurological impairments and social problems. These include but are not limited to: Social problems, including unemployment, lost productivity, and family problems.
