“Sister Torn Between Loyalty and Burden: Why She Draws the Line at Helping Her Alcoholic Brother-in-Law Get Home”
Aside from the impact on your physical and mental health, alcohol abuse also affects your social life and finances. It can lead to problems in your family and at work, and lead to unemployment.
Younger people are disproportionately negatively affected by alcohol consumption, with the highest proportion (13%) of alcohol-attributable deaths in 2019 occurring among people aged between 20 and 39 years.
The NHS suggests that men and women are not advised to drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week if they want to keep the health risks to a low level. A unit of alcohol is 8 grams or 10 milliliters of pure alcohol. If you’re trying to reduce the amount you drink, it’s best to have several alcohol-free days each week.
Heavy drinkers can often tolerate very high levels of alcohol that would be dangerous to anyone else. Alcoholics can experience strong physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking or cut back too quickly. For example, they may become depressed, have difficulty sleeping, hallucinate, sweat excessively, and get tremors in their hands.
Unruly behavior among plane passengers is, unfortunately, a fairly common occurrence
According to the EASA, every 3 hours, the safety of a flight within the European Union is threatened by passengers who are unruly or disruptive. The majority of these incidents (70%) involve aggression. Things can get so out of control that, on average, a plane is forced to do an emergency landing once a month.
Unruly behavior can involve excessive drinking before or during the flight, using drugs, being verbally or physically violent, not complying with the cabin crew’s instructions, and distracting the crew from their duties.
