Alcohol Abuse Cannot Cure Stress

American Psychological Association reports that as the stress levels increase due to the worsening US and Global economic conditions, more people are reaching out to unhealthy passive methods of dealing with stress. About 50 % of the americans reach our for some kind of fast food to cope with stress. 18% drink alcohol and 16 % smoke to help deal with stress.

Most people do not realise that reaching out for that extra drink or the cigarette is slowly but inexorably pulling them into addiction. Acohol addiction is especially dangerous as it leads to severe health and psychological problems.

The results of alcohol abuse can be shocking as you can see from the video below.



Stress and problems never go away because of alcohol. They get compounded.

Find people who can listen and give you the right advice when you have stress. The choice is yours whether you want to get stressed or take a grip on the circumstances and setting them right.

Please don't hit the bottle.
