Georgia Alcohol

Many people drink a small or moderate amount of alcohol to relax and enhance their social activities. Using alcohol in this way is not harmful for most adults.

However, people whose use of alcohol has negative effects on any aspect of their lives, including health, relationships, work or school and money, are considered to have an alcohol problem. These problems can range from mild to severe. The severity of an alcohol problem depends on factors including the type of alcohol you drink, how much you drink, and how long you have been drinking.
