April is Alcohol Awareness Month and a time to raise awareness about alcohol use and the impact it has on our health, our work and our relationships.
• Alcohol affects everyone differently—risk varies by person
• Binge drinking increases danger—overdose, accidents, risky behavior
• Some should not drink at all (pregnancy, underage, certain meds/conditions)
• Even moderate drinking carries health risks, including 7 different cancers
• Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is treatable—recovery is possible
Call or text 988 if you or someone you know struggles with alcohol. It is free and confidential.
