Alcohol Awareness Month

April is Alcohol Awareness Month, and a good time to reflect about our alcohol intake and how it's affecting health and daily life. Drinking is often viewed as an integral part of socializing and even doing business with others. It's relied upon as an anxiety reducer and a social lubricant. It's no surprise then that it's easy to over-indulge and create unhealthy habits with drinking.  Below are a few resources to help, if you think your alcohol consumption could be a problem.
