Alcohol: The World’s Most Normalized Poison
Did you know?
• 2.6 million people die every year from alcohol-related causes.
• That’s nearly 7,000 people dying today alone.
• Over 400 million people worldwide struggle with Alcohol Use Disorder.
• 1 in 3 people will face alcohol-related problems at some point in life.
The Truth About Alcohol
• Addiction is driven by trauma and genetics, not moral weakness. (40–60% of risk is genetic – similar to diabetes).
• The “alcohol is healthy” studies?
Flawed and misleading.
• Even light drinking increases cancer risk. For breast cancer, there is no safe level.
Inside the Body
• Your liver turns alcohol into acetaldehyde – 30x more toxic than alcohol itself.
• This toxin causes inflammation, cellular damage, and eventually irreversible scarring.
The Path to Healing
• Recovery is possible. After 5 years of complete sobriety, a person’s risk of relapse drops to the same as the general population.
• Cutting back isn’t enough – true healing requires complete abstinence.

The evidence is clear: There is no “healthy” amount of alcohol consumption.
Recovery is possible — and support is available.
