алкоголь

Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that affects the central nervous system, causing relaxation, euphoria and, when abused, addiction and devastating health and life consequences. Moderate alcohol consumption is seen by many as part of culture and recreation, but regular or excessive consumption can lead to serious physical and psychological problems: liver disease, impaired brain function, impaired social relationships and loss of behavioural control. Alcohol is particularly dangerous because addiction forms subtly and recognising the problem requires courage and support.
