Alcohol and social problems

Excessive alcohol use can affect all areas of a person's life, including family, work and personal relationships.

  • Family problems: arguments over someone's drinking can cause family and relationship problems that may lead to break up.
  • Work problems: drinking alcohol at work and hangovers can lead to poor performance and accidents at work, while illness can result in absenteeism.
  • Legal problems: drink-driving may lead to fines, loss of licence and even imprisonment.
