According to figures released today by the NHS:
- 1 in 4 adults are drinking at hazardous levels,
- 1 in 10 men are on the verge of alcoholism,
- 1 in 6 women drink at levels sufficient to damage their liver or lead to depression,
- 1 in 10 men and 1 in 25 women are approaching alcohol dependence (admittedly rather vague terminology).
We have to ask ourselves why people in the UK seem to be developing more problems with alcohol, and what can be done about it. The cost to the health service alone is staggering - presently some £2.7 billion. That’s before we even consider the personal and social costs involved.
hello everybody, my name is kal i am 20 years old .. i do not have a problem with alcohol whatsoever the reason i am here is because my dad does. i believe he has been an alcoholic ever since i could tell, he currently drinks around 10 liters of beer a day and smokes around 5 packs of cigarettes. he never eats or drink water even let alone workout or have a walk. he loses breath when he climes a 10 stair set.
my question is what level of alcoholism is that he is 50 years old and has been drinking roughly for about 25 years… what chances does he have.. how many years of this misery .. is there a chance to get him back ? please email me if you are a professional or have had any similar experiences. i will put in my cousin’s email because mine is monitored. thanks a lot!
