phoenixrehabindia Posted January 22, 2015 Report Posted January 22, 2015 Alcohol consumption can be described in terms of grams of alcohol consumed or in terms of standard drinks, where, in Europe, a quality drink commonly contains 10g of alcohol. In the National Health and Medical Research Council study, the risk of alcohol attributable injury death is more than 1 in 100 if a person drinks more than 2 drinks per occasion. The guideline for low risk of both immediate and long-term harm from drinking for men and women is 2 drinks (20g alcohol) or less in any one day. It represents a drinking level that, for healthy grown persons, will reduce the lifespan risk of demise from an alcohol-related injury or disease to less than 1 in 100. Hazardous alcohol consumption is a level of consumption or pattern of drinking that is likely to result in harm should present drinking habits continue, however, there is no regulate agreement for the level of alcohol consumption that should be taken as hazardous drinking, and, for many conditions, any level of alcohol consumption can carry risk. Harmful drinking is defined (ICD-10 Classification of mental and behavioral disorders) as ‘a pattern of drinking that causes damage to health, either physical (such as liver cirrhosis) or mental (such as depression secondary to alcohol consumption). Alcohol dependence is a cluster of physiological, behavioral, and cognitive event in which the use of alcohol takes on a much higher priority for a given individual than other behaviors that once had greater value.
