Want to drown your sorrows? Alcohol
alters the brain’s chemistry and increases
the risk of depression. It is often associated
with a range of mental health problems. A
recent British survey found that people
suuering from anxiety or depression were
twice as likely to be heavy or problem
drinkers. And really, when you wake up,
not only do you still have the same
problems, but now you have a headache,
dry mouth, and nausea to go with it. But
that’s not the end of it. Next issue, I’ll
discuss more of the negative consequences
of alcohol consumption.
