Harmful alcohol use can directly affect physical and cognitive function, WHO reports. “Child maltreatment, and subsequent alcohol problems, can contribute to cycles of violence passing from one generation to another”. A child’s education can also be affected, with maltreated children having poorer school attendance and progression, often resulting in lower than average income levels as an adult. Furthermore, some studies have found that men and women exposed to maltreatment as children are at increased risk of marrying a partner with alcohol problems or of having marital and family problems.

......The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally, approximately three million people die each year as a result of alcohol consumption. More than half of these deaths are from noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as cancer and heart disease. Many millions more suffer as a consequence of their own or someone else`s alcohol use. Alcohol is also a cause of mental disorders, and plays a role in susceptibility to diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). The economic toll amounts to hundreds of billions of dollars, and alcohol-related harm is a significant burden to health and development in low- and middle-income countries.
