April is Alcohol Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness and understanding of alcohol abuse. Over time, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to the development of chronic diseases and other serious issues that affect overall quality of life, physical, and mental health.
By educating ourselves and supporting one another, we can address alcohol-related issues with compassion, empathy, and understanding. Together, we can make a difference in promoting alcohol awareness and education on resources.
