More on alcohol doesn't just harm the person drinking, it also has a ripple effect on the lives of those around them. A parent's excessive drinking can traumatize their children, creating a legacy of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. The effects of alcoholism can be felt for generations, impacting family dynamics, mental health, and future relationships.

Let's make a collective effort to reduce alcohol-related harm! Together, we can create a safer and healthier community.

Alcohol also causes several types of cancer. There is sufficient evidence to say that alcohol causes cancer.

Thank you, World Health Organization, for highlighting this crucial issue. At Enviro Vito NPO, we are deeply committed to fostering safer and healthier communities. The statistics you shared are alarming and emphasize the far-reaching impact of alcohol consumption. It is vital that we continue to raise awareness and implement effective measures to reduce alcohol-related harm.

Not to mention the major involvement of law enforcement and congestion of hospital emergency departments. Displacing energies and resources from where they are most needed.

Indeed, alcohol in all its forms and colors is “death in the bottle, death from the bottle”. World Health Organization
