National Health Observances for April 2020

Alcohol Awareness Month

Consuming too much of anything is bad for you—this is especially true when it comes to alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol increases your risk for injuries, disease and even some types of cancer. That’s why it’s important to practice responsible drinking habits.

With this in mind, consider the following tips:

• Set drinking limits for yourself when enjoying a night out, and encourage friends to do the same.
• Talk to your doctor about your drinking habits, and discuss potential long-term effects.
• Always have a designated driver or a plan for safely traveling when out drinking (e.g., taxi).

Implementing responsible drinking practices now will help you keep the good times rolling years down the road. Visit www.samhsa.gov to learn more about substance dependency and where to find help limiting your alcohol consumption.
