Understand Your Drinking Habits & Make Healthier Choices
Alcohol is widely consumed in India, whether at family gatherings, festivals, or social events. While moderate drinking may not seem harmful, excessive alcohol consumption can silently affect your health, increasing the risk of liver disease, heart problems, mental health issues, and even cancer.
Assessing your alcohol intake is the first step to understanding how alcohol impacts your body and taking action before it leads to serious health risks.
