A study that was conducted by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has reported that for every dollar spent on treatment of alcohol dependence, seven health care dollars are saved.
Alcohol can potentially damage every single organ in your body, because it is absorbed directly into your bloodstream and can increase your risk for a variety of life-threatening diseases, including cancer.
When alcohol is consumed into the body it is converted to acetaldehyde in the liver. Acetaldehyde is a toxic substance that can be harmful to the body. For the normal drinker, the liver quickly coverts acetaldehyde into a substance called acetic acid. Acetic acid does not have the same toxic or harmful qualities as acetaldehyde. The body then converts acetic acid into carbon dioxide and water which is released through the body�'s urinary and respiratory systems.
Individuals that struggle with alcoholism need empathy and professional treatment; scientific research has clearly shown that punishment does not tend to reduce alcoholic drinking, except with alcohol abusers, who still have some measure of control over their drinking.
