Did You Know?
Risks associated with drinking alcohol can be multiplied when drinking is combined with gambling, other drugs or cannabis.
Alcohol has been
interwoven in some of our
communities for many
years. If you could increase community safety, vibrancy,
health and well-being in
how alcohol is consumed
in your community, what
would you suggest doing?
People drink alcohol for
many reasons. One is
to self-medicate mental
health concerns in an
attempt to feel better.
Alcohol may provide a
temporary escape from
stress but does not treat
its underlying cause.
A hangover is one of the
most immediate and
common unwanted
consequences of alcohol
consumption. Hangover
describes the group of
symptoms that may follow
excessive drinking.
Regular sleep is important for
our health and well-being. It
allows us to repair physical
and psychological damage
and function well in our waking
lives. Drinking alcohol can
disrupt the sleep cycle. It can
change both the length and
quality of our sleep.
