I quit drinking alcohol a few months before my father died of alcoholic liver disease seven and a half years ago. In the few years before his death, I had watched him become more disabled from physical and emotional pain. I also suffered in similar ways as my father. It’s no secret that many emotional and physical ailments get passed down to new generations. Like my dad, I had severe depression, constant headaches, nerve pain, bloating, digestive problems, tremors, and a foggy brain.
Yes, alcohol makes you sick, yet 85.6% of the US population has consumed alcohol in the past year. Also, 25.8% of US people over 18 engage in binge drinking, which is very heavy drinking.
