Family member guide to helping an alcoholic

While alcohol is legal (and easily accessible), it can be just as harmful and addictive as other substances. In fact, harmful use of alcohol kills more than 3 million people each year. What begins as something social or recreational can quickly turn into a dependence. Of these deaths, 28% were due to injuries, such as those from traffic crashes, self-harm and interpersonal violence; 21% due to digestive disorders; 19% due to cardiovascular diseases, and the remainder due to infectious diseases, cancers, mental disorders and other health conditions, says WHO.
