A recent study by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has determined that the health benefits of alcohol depend on a person's age, gender, and overall medical history. The current study indicated that for the general population, two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women could relate to lower mortality and is unlikely to cause harm; health benefits of alcohol are always of concern to those who see only the dangerous side of drinking.
The harmful use of alcohol is associated with several infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This is because alcohol consumption weakens the immune system and has a negative effect on patients�' adherence to antiretroviral treatment.
As people age through adolescence and into young adulthood, they increasingly expect benefits from alcohol consumption and become less convinced of the risks.
Alcoholics and individuals that abuse alcohol are much more likely to: have legal issues marital and domestic violence problems, struggle with unemployment, and to live in poverty.
