ABC7's Beyond the Headlines: Alcoholism
BEYOND THE HEADLINES
AIRS: Sunday, November 9, 2014, at 10:00AM
Hosted by ABC7's Cheryl Jennings
Our show today focuses on alcohol consumption and the deadly dangers of drinking too much. According to a report from the World Health Organization, 2012 saw 3 million alcohol-related deaths around the globe.
Thousands of Americans die each year from a variety of diseases, accidents, and crimes that are linked to alcohol. Too much alcohol negatively affects more than our bodies, behavior, and relationships. It also damages the lives of people around us.
Our studio guests talk about a young Marine who was killed by a drunk driver, the legal blood alcohol limit, horse therapy, the relationship between alcohol and depression, and natural treatment options.
