The Effects of Alcohol Use
The amount of alcohol you may drink can range from occasional at-home or social drinking to daily, excessive alcohol use that affects all aspects of your life. Drinking too much can harm your work, social, and family life, but also have severe consequences on your mental and physical health.
The effects of alcohol vary depending on how much and how often alcohol is consumed, and the physical condition of the individual drinking the alcohol.
Effects include, but are not limited to:
| Short-term Effects | Long-term Effects |
| Decreased coordination Slurred speech Drowsiness Vomiting Blackouts Impaired judgment Distorted vision and hearing | Alcohol poisoning Liver disease Cancer Cardiovascular diseases Brain damage Unintentional injuries and accidents |
Signs of alcohol addiction and problem drinking
Do you struggle with:
- Finding reasons or making excuses for drinking, including to relax, deal with stress or feel “normal”?
- Choosing drinking alcohol over other responsibilities and obligations such as work, family and friends?
- Physical dependence and increased tolerance to alcohol – when you need more and more alcohol to feel the desired effect?
- Withdrawal symptoms when you don’t drink – sleeplessness, tremors, nausea and seizures within a few hours of your last drink?
If you are experiencing any of the signs of problem drinking or alcohol addiction, call us for help. Your road to recovery starts here.
The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health says “most alcohol-related illnesses, social problems, accidents and deaths are caused by problem drinking”.
Problem drinking means alcohol use is causing problems in your life, and you need help.
We’ve helped over 50,000 people recover from substance addictions and can help you too.
