When is the World Alcohol Free Day 2023? It is a question that many do not ask themselves in these last months of the year, due to the increase in consumption due to the end of the year holidays both at work and in the family.
However, there is World No Alcohol Day 2023, which is commemorated in November, whose month also celebrates men.
This important date is indicated within the November 2023 anniversaries published by the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS).
World Alcohol-Free Day 2023 aims to understand the causes and effects of this disease in women and men not only internationally but also within the country of Mexico.
When is World No Alcohol Day 2023?
This day is commemorated on November 15. Within the anniversaries of the IMSS the following is written: “the harmful consumption of alcohol produces physical and psychological damage. Choose to take care of yourself and your family, choose not to consume alcohol.”
World Alcohol Free Day. Effects of alcoholism in the country
At the portal of the Ministry of Health in Mexico It is noted that excessive alcohol consumption is the direct cause of 60 diseases and a risk factor for another 200, as well as accidents, mainly traffic, injuries, violence and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, cancer, and death.
Alcohol can cause the person who consumes it to have negative effects on their quality of life and well-being, such as domestic violence, poor academic or work performance, problems with family and/or friends, and even financial problems.
Excessive alcohol consumption leads to and is related to a large number of disorders and diseases, including:
Addiction and dependence. Increased blood pressure Possibility of developing types of cancer Brain damage Memory problems Damage to the mucous membranes of the digestive system. Nutrition problems Social and economic problems
Did alcoholism increase during the pandemic in Mexico?
Although the pandemic has already passed throughout the world, the data it left about this disease is raw, which is why we cannot forget it.
The 2020 National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut) on COVID-19 indicates that 623,202 adolescents consumed alcoholic beverages during confinement. Of them, 414,300 were men and 208,903 were women. Likewise, 21,990 young people registered higher consumption during the pandemic.
Symptoms of poisoning
When intoxication occurs, there is so much alcohol in the blood that basic vital functions such as breathing, heart rate and temperature regulation in the body begin to fail.
It can cause permanent brain damage or death.
Symptoms of alcohol poisoning can be:
Confusion Difficulty staying conscious Vomiting Seizures Trouble breathing Slow heart rate Cold, clammy skin Blunted responses Lack of the gag reflex (which prevents suffocation)
When alcohol poisoning occurs, it is very dangerous to think that the unconscious person will be fine if they sleep until the effects wear off, as they could drown in their own vomit and die from lack of oxygen. Even if the person survives, it can cause long-term brain damage.
