Alcohol
Alcoholism is a severe disease, and regular alcohol consumption has a negative effect on all systems of the human body and leads to serious health consequences.
Alcohol consumption leads to more than 200 diseases, including liver diseases, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, mental diseases, and injuries.
According to 2012 data, alcohol accounted for 5.9% of deaths and 5.1% of years of life lost due to disability worldwide. Men (7.6%) are almost twice as likely to suffer from alcohol-related deaths as women (4%).
Globally, people aged 15 years and older drink an average of 6.2 liters of pure alcohol per year; however, since only 38.3% of the population actually drinks alcohol, this amount increases to an average of 17 liters of pure alcohol among those who drink. The forms and patterns of alcohol consumption vary greatly between regions of the world and even within them.
