Alcohol Intake

Excessive alcohol intake is a serious problem for some people in
every age group. Excessive drinking leads to depression and this can
have negative effects on your entire life. Look for the danger signs.
These include morning drinking, citations for driving while intoxicated,
automobile accidents after any alcohol intake at all, drinking to make
problems go away, drinking behavior that worries your spouse on your
friends, or medical problems of ulcer or gastritis. If any one of these
danger signs has occurred in your recent life, you should cut down. If
more than one of them have occurred, you should contact your nearest
Alcoholic Anonymous chapter or get some other form of professional help.

Usually, this problem gets too little attention too late. You should
look for these problems in family and friends, express your concerns to
them, and cooperate fully to help them establish a program for alcohol
control or elimination. You perhaps can save their lives, and perhaps
even your own
