Social Consequences
You say you like to drink to have a good time? Does your good time include:
Increased Accidents
Every year, thousands of Canadians are hospitalized because of accidental falls - falls that resulted from a loss of coordination due to drinking.
Missed Work and School
Thousands of Canadians miss work or school - and in some cases, lose their jobs or fail their courses - because of their drinking.
Mental Health Problems
Alcohol is a depressant, and many drinkers find themselves suffering from depression, anxiety or grief as result of their drinking.
Relationship Problems
Many people have ruined their relationships with family, friends and loved ones as a direct result of alcohol abuse.
High-risk Sexual Activity
Excessive drinking can impair good judgment. Many people admit to having unplanned sex as a result of their drinking, often without using sexual protection. That means an increased risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease.
