A recent World Health Organization (WHO) report has stated that drinking causes at least 1.8 million deaths a year, or almost five percent of all worldwide deaths. "Public-health problems that are commonly associated with alcohol consumption have reached alarming proportions and alcohol has become one of the most important risks to health globally," the report boldly stated.
A recent government conducted medical study indicates that people with a variant of the DRD2 gene (a gene associated with dopamine function in the brain) may be more prone to receive pleasure from drinking; since this gen merely relates to the pleasure associated with drinking, this research cannot conclude that DRD2 causes alcohol dependence.
An estimated 6.6% of employees who hold full time jobs report that they are involved in alcohol abuse, drinking five or more drinks per event or on five or more days in the previous 30 days.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), alcohol is a causal factor in over 60 types of diseases.
