In an effort to improve health across the United States, Health.gov designates April as the month to make Americans aware of the effects that alcohol use and misuse can have on their health. By creating an awareness of how consuming alcohol affects the different functions of the body, the hope is to reduce the rates of alcoholism, alcohol abuse, and alcohol-associated organ damage across the nation. Create awareness in your practice by making it easy for patients to find and access information.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) has a variety of resources available related to the impact of alcohol use. Help patients discover what constitutes moderate alcohol consumption or provide tools to help them start a conversation with loved ones concerning alcohol use. Through education and awareness, we can help reduce the rates of alcohol-related illness in our country together.
