Binge drinking has
incremented over the years in teenagers and in adults. More people have been
drinking alcohol more these days to reduce the anxiety, nervousness, and other
issues the pandemic has caused. Many people do not know what binge drinking is and
how to deal with the situation within their families. Binge drinking is when a
man consumes five drinks or more within a two-hour time frame. While binge
drinking for a woman is when she consumes four drinks or more in two hours.

Binge drinking effects
the throat, liver, brain, and the immune system. Eventually binge drinking
leads to difficulties in sleeping, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Partners
in Prevention is a nonprofit organization that has resources for Alcohol
Awareness Month which takes place every year in April. Also, there is a free
toolkit to download that includes a pledge for the youth and other activities
to bring awareness. Using the hashtag Alcohol Awareness Month and the free
images from Partners in Prevention on social media will also educate and inform
people about alcoholism. Here are more resources about Alcohol Awareness Month.
