4 Symptoms of Short-Term Alcohol Abuse

About Alcohol Abuse

Alcohol abuse is as serious a problem as drug abuse and the last ten years have seen an alarming rise in the number of people who suffer from this problem. Severe alcoholism can destroy not just a person’s health but may push his life into darkness from where he may never come back.

However alcohol abuse if caught on early can work as a blessing as the chances of making a successful recovery are improved significantly for the patient. Short term abuse is an extremely common problem and if it is let go for a period of time, it can turn very vicious for the addict as well as his or her family.
