THE PROBLEM ITS BACKGROUND This chapter presents the issue about people who have or doesn’t have the habit of drinking alcohols and liquors even if they are young or old. Youngsters learned to drink alcohol because of the peer pressure or maybe because of what they are watching like a drama which shows a character that drinks alcohol when they are stressed because of their problems in life. Most drinkers believe that when you drink, you will forget the cause of your stress and it will erase all your problems in life. But this is not really helpful. When a person learned it, it is possible to become their hobby and may cause them to have a disease called alcoholism. This type of disease is still more common in men, but it has been increasing in women, and the female to male ratio for alcohol dependence has narrowed to one to two. When a person has stopped drinking, they will experience sleep disruptions and may lead to insomnia which most heavy drinkers experience. For them to be treated, they must have a sincere desire to seek for medical help because the process of detoxification from alcohol takes three to seven days and they may also try the rehabilitation too.
This prompted the component to conduct a study on the implication of the issue in drinking alcohol to our health status.
