Alcoholism is a condition that generates a strong need and anxiety to ingest alcohol, so that there is a physical dependence, manifesting through various symptoms. Learning to prevent it is important to be able to anticipate risky behaviors that begin at an early age. Risk behaviors can have negative consequences on health and society.
The consumption of alcohol is not due to lack of information. In our country there is a policy of guidance and information on this subject and everyone knows the negative consequences caused by its consumption. But people go more towards the positive that this causes. With alcohol they can feel integrated into a social group or also obtain certain physical or psychological effects. But the problem is not those moments, for some pleasant and even satisfactory, but the negative consequences that this harmful substance causes. Some risk factors that cause this behavior are self-esteem, school failure and dysfunctional homes.
However, in the face of these social problems, decisions must be made. The healthy lifestyle, as well as the search for moral, family and social support guarantee that each one assumes this behavior or not. Being an alcoholic is a decision that is in the hands of those who, for the reasons they had, chose this way of dealing with their problems; but it is not the only one. In our hands is the choice, say NO to alcohol, YES for life. That is the decision.
