It is important during the global COVID-19 epidemic to acknowledge and understand the challenges that you may be facing in order to avoid using alcohol to self-medicate, potentially increasing certain COVID-19 related risks.
A Weakened Immune System
Over the years, studies have shown a clear association between excessive alcohol consumption and a weakened immune system, specifically when it comes to a person’s susceptibility to pneumonia and acute respiratory stress syndromes. Even if you think you may have your drinking under control, research shows that non-chronic alcohol drinkers and binge drinkers can face negative health consequences as well.

Denial
For many, denial is a common trait among those struggling with alcoholism or alcohol abuse. They often underestimate the amount they drink and overestimate their ability to control their drinking. Many deny the duration of their drinking problem and the impact it has had on their life and families.
Denial is also common among friends and family members who are uncomfortable acknowledging the gravity and reality of the situation. Children in families experiencing alcohol or drug abuse need attention, guidance and support. They may be growing up in homes in which the problems are either denied or covered up.
The most common symptoms of addiction are severe loss of control, continued use despite serious consequences, preoccupation with using, failed attempts to quit, tolerance and withdrawal.
See if you recognize any of these symptoms in yourself.
According to the CDC, drinking alcohol raises your risk of getting six kinds of cancer. All types of alcoholic drinks are linked with cancer. The more you drink, the higher your cancer risk.
