Spring into April with Alcohol Awareness

4/2/2016

This April during Alcohol Awareness Month, I encourage you to educate yourself and your loved ones about the dangers of excessive drinking. To spread the word and prevent alcohol abuse, Minds Moving Forward is joining other organizations across the country to honor Alcohol Awareness Month.

Every day 28 people die in the U.S. as result of motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver.  Excessive alcohol consumption has shown to increase people’s risk of injuries, violence, drowning, liver disease, and some types of cancer. If you believe you may be drinking too much or drinking too often, invest in yourself and your loved ones by cutting back or quitting. Here are some tips to get started:
  • Limit your alcohol to no more than 1 drink a day for women or 2 drinks a day for men.
  •  Keep track of how much you drink.
  • Choose one day each week when you will drink only non-alcoholic beverages.
  • When you are upset, do something physically active rather than drinking
  • Avoid places where people drink in excess.
  • Make a list of reasons not to drink.
  • Ask for support where you need it and offer encouragement to others in your life.
