Alcoholics can't stop drinking even when they want to.
Have you ever considered just how dangerous alcohol really is? In this episode of 'Busting Addiction and Its Myths', host Bruno Jr., backed by SafeHouse Rehab Thailand, takes a hard look at the facts surrounding alcohol and alcoholism. Alcoholism affects over 14 million adults in the U.S. alone, making it a widespread issue that touches many lives. Bruno Jr.
discusses the often-overlooked reality that alcoholism doesn’t just harm the drinker; it impacts at least five other people for every individual struggling with the condition. This means around 70 million people are affected in some way by alcoholism. One of the most harmful myths tackled in this episode is the belief that introducing young people to alcohol early can protect them from becoming alcoholics later.
Contrary to this belief, the facts show that those who start drinking before age 15 are five times more likely to develop alcohol use disorder (AUD) than those who wait until they are 21 or older. Bruno Jr. also sheds light on how the deadly effects of alcoholism are often under-reported. For instance, death certificates might list cirrhosis of the liver as the cause of death, without mentioning that a lifetime of heavy drinking was the real culprit.
The episode also touches on why alcohol remains socially acceptable despite its dangers, and why being labeled a 'drunk' carries less stigma than being called an 'addict'. By breaking down these myths and presenting the stark realities, this episode aims to provide listeners with a clearer understanding of alcoholism and its far-reaching consequences. Whether you’re dealing with alcoholism yourself, or trying to support a loved one, this episode offers valuable insights that can help guide you through these challenging times.
