According to the World Health Organization (WHO), alcohol consumption is responsible for the deaths of approximately 2.6 million people annually worldwide. These alarming statistics highlight the serious health risks associated with drinking and underscore the urgent need for increased awareness and effective alcohol control measures.
The WHO’s findings emphasize that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to a range of harmful consequences, including liver disease, cancer, heart disease, and accidents or injuries. To mitigate these risks and promote public health, the organization urges governments and individuals to prioritize responsible alcohol consumption and implement strategies that reduce the harmful use of alcohol.
