Alcohol Addiction

April Is Alcohol Awareness Month

AUDIO – SHE’S DEFINITELY AWARE! –

April 2, 2022 – This month is a chance to spread awareness of alcohol consumption and reduce the stigma of reducing alcohol consumption. This year’s theme is “For The Health of It,” with a focus on Early Education on Alcoholism and Addiction. Achieving Recovery Together wants to empower you to speak with the young people in your life about alcohol. People who aren’t parents or guardians can benefit, too. We encourage everyone to examine their own habits and decide how alcohol affects their life goals.

First, let’s define what a standard drink is. Different types of drinks have different amounts of alcohol in them. The standard pours are

• Wine: 5oz of ABV 12%
• Liquor: 1.5oz of ABV 40%
• Beer: 12oz of ABV 5%
• Malt Beverage: 8oz of 7% ABV
