Dependence on alcohol can creep up on you. Tolerance increases with use so if you drink on a regular basis, over time you'll need more and more alcohol to reach the same state.
It can make you mouthy, argumentative and aggressive. So if you discover you're a nasty drunk you'd be wise to rein it. Especially if you want to keep your mates.
Alcohol is blamed for all kinds of problems in Britain from violent crime to domestic violence and car related deaths.
Serious overindulgence can lead to alcohol poisoning which could put you in a coma or even kill you.
Long-term use of alcohol has been linked with illnesses like liver damage, stomach cancer and heart disease.
