Although alcohol is often viewed as a way to be social or unwind after a long day, alcohol can have devastating consequences when abused. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), excessive alcohol consumption is linked to 95,000 fatalities annually in the United States. This makes it a leading preventable cause of death in the country.
