TIME HAS COME IN OUR SOCIETY WHEN WARNING MESSAGES NEED TO BE PLACED ON ALCOHOLIC PRODUCTS JUST AS WE DO WITH CIGARETTES.
REALITY IS THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE IN OUR SOCIETY ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM TO THEMSELVES THROUGH ALCOHOL, AND THESE ARE NOT JUST ROLLING DRUNKS OUT ON THE STREET. IN FACT THE GREATER PROBLEM IS HAPPENING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IN NICE HOMES IN NICE SUBURBS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
UNFORTUNATELY ALCOHOL ABUSE ALSO AFFECTS MANY MANY OTHER PEOPLE ESPECIALLY CHILDREN AND OTHER LOVED ONES INCLUDING SPOUSES PARTNERS AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. APART FROM THIS THE COST TO OUR SOCIETY IS NOW WELL UP IN THE BILLIONS EACH YEAR.
Alcohol is a very dirty drug because it affects a lot of different organs of the body.
The majority of Australians have a general idea that it’s not too good for the liver to drink a lot but what most don’t know is that alcohol is implicated in a number of cancers.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer declared some time ago that alcohol is a human carcinogen and has reiterated the warning in a recent report.
People generally have an idea that it’s not a good idea to drive a car when you’ve been drinking but again, most don’t know that a substantial proportion of people who die in drowning accidents have had quite a bit to drink.
Warning labels are a good step but they’re not a whole policy, they’re a piece of what needs to be done about alcohol policy in Australia.
