| description | Alcohol consumption is a public health problem that
requires immediate preventive actions and health
promotion. This is considered a determinant factor for some
neuropsychiatric disorders and noncommunicable diseases
such as cardiovascular diseases, liver cirrhosis and various
types of cancers. Currently, alcohol consumption is
considered a socially accepted practice, and is recognized as
a vehicle for socialization in various social groups such as
adolescents; alcohol is the legal starting drug and its
consumption increases the risk of getting involved with
other types of illegal substances such as marijuana, cocaine,
among others. To understand the problem of alcohol
consumption in the general population, it is important to
start from basic aspects such as the definitions and the
general picture of this problem worldwide, as well as to
know the consequences of consumption and the nursing
function in prevention. Alcohol consumption can be
described in terms of grams of alcohol consumed or the
alcoholic content of different beverages. |
