INTRODUCTION:
Alcohol dependence or alcohol addiction has many serious health consequences. It adversely affects stomach, intestines, liver, heart, nerves, pancreas, brain and other organs. In many cases it results in malnutrition, sexual problems, brain cell damage, cancer of digestive organs, high blood pressure, sleeping disorders, etc. Its psychological and psychiatric problems like lack of judgement and coordination, depression, poor memory and concentration, etc. affects the daily life drastically.1
Alcohol dependence – a big concern
According to Indian Alcohol Policy Alliance, the Indian arm of Global Alcohol Policy Alliance (GAPA) functioning with the aim to prevent alcohol related harm through evidence based policy intervention, advocacy and capacity building, India is one of the major sufferers from alcohol dependence. As per report there are over 6 crore alcohol users in India. Per capita consumption of alcohol increased by 106.7% over the 15-year period from 1970 to 1996. About 80% of alcohol consumption is in the form of hard liquor or distilled spirits which contains high concentration of alcohol. Hazardous drinking (alcohol consumption which confers the risk of physical and/or psychological harm2) is significantly associated with severe health problems such as head injuries and hospitalizations.3
