Today marks the beginning of #AlcoholAwarenessWeek and we’re looking at some of the myths around alcohol. 1.     Alcohol helps you sleep – alcohol may help you fall asleep quicker, but it also prevents you from having as much deep sleep, leaving you feeling tired the next day. 2.     Drinking red wine is good for you – scientists tend to agree that the risks outweigh the benefits, alcohol increases the chances of developing high blood pressure and stroke. 3.     It only harms heavy drinkers – alcohol can harm anyone, regardless of age, background or gender. 4.     Alcohol improves sexual performance – alcoholism can result in temporary impotence, shrinking of sex organs, reduced sperm formation, failure to ovulate and menstrual problems. 5.     Alcoholics only have themselves to blame – alcohol is all around us, everywhere we go, and anyone can experience problems at any point in our lives. This week let’s take a leading role in supporting our friends, family and co-workers in building a healthier relationship with alcohol.
