Alcohol abuse refers to the condition when a person who is under the influence of the beverage refuses to stop the undesirable practice in spite of facing problems repeatedly. Problems could be social, legal or personal. Damage caused from this could be both at the physical and mental level.
People who are under influence of alcohol generally do not bother about the condition or situation when they consume the beverage i.e. they do not bother to stay away from drinks even if they have to drive. Due to this they are at a risk of getting into trouble with the law.
Personal problems may arise due to intolerance of family members towards the attitude of irresponsibility that invariably arises out of this condition. Personal relationships get affected and life becomes filled with tension, stress and complexes.
Social problems may include misbehavior in public causing embarrassment to oneself, one’s family or friends who are around. People under the influence of alcohol generally tend to get loud and boisterous, or may become sober and melancholic. Their gait is also imbalanced and more often than not, they stagger and sometimes even fall down. They may even, without being conscious about it, abuse people around causing unpleasantness.
