Alcohol consumption is very common in today’s world, even among minors. I honestly don’t know anyone who has never drunk, even just a sip, a beer or wine.
Let’s face it – everyone has drunk even once in his life, which is exactly why this has caused about 88,000 deaths annually from the year 2006-2010 in the United States alone, making it the third leading lifestyle-related cause of death.
Habitual drinking increases your risk of chronic conditions and illnesses like cancer, anemia, cardiovascular diseases, cirrhosis, dementia, depression, seizures, and more. There are tons of reasons to stop, but people are very stubborn.
Fortunately, a new study from the University College London has shown that just a month of break from alcohol prevents illness. Read more in this report by Victoria Ward on The Telegraph:

Taking a month off drinking alcohol can slash the risk of developing life threatening illnesses and disease, according to a new study.

So a month break from alcohol prevents illness.. Maybe it’s time you stop now (or little by little) – better late than never!
Although we’ve learned that drinking a glass of red wine every day may help control type 2 diabetes, it’s still better to avoid alcohol as much as possible. If you’re pregnant, don’t ever drink it. It may cause lifetime damage to your unborn baby.
Aside from illnesses, alcohol also causes vehicular accidents. In fact, around 10,076 deaths were reported in the United States back in 2013, all because of drunk drivers.
