About Alcohol
Alcoholic beverages are present in nearly every grocery store, restaurant, home, and ballpark in the nation. We use it to celebrate, relax, and socialize. Aside from the decade of Prohibition in the last century, alcohol has been a legal and welcome addition to parties, games and even events with children. However, there are very dark sides to alcohol, including addiction.
Fermenting yeast, sugar, and starch forms Ethyl Alcohol, the key ingredient in any alcoholic beverage. Its primary forms of delivery are as beer, wine, or liquor, each of which has varying percentages of alcohol. Liquor is generally the most potent class of alcoholic beverage.
When alcohol consumption turns into a problem and then into an outright disease, professionals recommend a consultation with an addiction specialist.
