5 reasons for chronic drinkers to stop

• Alcohol addiction develops slowly. Many casual, social, and weekend drinkers don’t realize they’ve developed a problem until years into their addiction.
• Chronic alcohol consumption causes damage to body organs such as the brain, heart, stomach, pancreas, and especially the liver.
• Consumption, especially at high doses, can cause extreme mood swings, unrestrained behavior, and impaired motor functions. Even basic walking is difficult, not to mention driving.
• Almost half of all driving fatalities are alcohol related.
• Late stage chronic alcoholics are so dependent on alcohol that they can die just from abstinence.
