Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Effects on the Body

Rationale/Purpose:

Alcoholism was recognized as a national crisis due to the many negative effects it

can cause when consumed in excess. It can affect the body both inside and out and

sometimes the harmful effects aren’t discovered until much later in life, making it

difficult to reverse many health complications. According to (Thomas, 2021), alcohol

is one of the most prevalently consumed substances in the world, used by millions of

people throughout the United States. But unfortunately, many of them are unaware

of what serious complications it can bring to their overall health.

This webinar will provide an overview of the effects of excessive alcohol

consumption in the body. This web talk will also build awareness about the dangers

of excessive drinking alcohol as many people do not realize that they are abusing

alcohol and use it without the knowledge of how it can affect their health in the

process. Also to increase young people's knowledge and understanding about

alcohol, its effects on the body and the social and physical risks associated with its

misuse.
