Alcohol Rehab Help:
As you may know, alcoholism is a leading contributing factor to kidney disease. Binge drinking leads a person’s blood alcohol content (BAC) to heighten to dangerous levels. This may cause the kidneys to lose their function, potentially leading to acute kidney injury. We wrote this guide to help folks understand this link and potentially get the help they need to cut back or quit drinking completely.

By sharing this article, we’re hoping to prevent one from succumbing to numbing, and instead, encourage them to think about healing their emotional wellbeing.

The Connection Between Alcohol And Cancer:
Light drinking, moderate drinking, and heavy drinking all increase a person’s risk of some cancers. For light drinkers, the risk of developing cancer over time is low, but still present. For heavy drinkers or those with an alcohol use disorder (AUD), the risk of developing certain cancers increases as a person ages. Alcohol consumption can cause breast, liver, esophageal, colorectal, and head & neck cancer.

Educational Tool on Long-Term Effects of Alcohol Abuse:
Excessive alcohol consumption, according to the CDC, is responsible for 88,000 deaths per year and costs the U.S more than $200 billion annually.
