Abstract:
Alcoholism can be defined as addiction of irresistible desire of taking alcohol. It can be treated or managed by homoeopathy, which offers significant assistance in the fight against the disease.
In India, alcohol consumption per capita doubled between 2005 and 2016, according to the WHO's 2018 Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health. According to the data, Indians consumed 2.4 l of alcohol in 2005; this number rose to 4.3 l in 2010; and as high as 5.7 l in 2016.
The harmful use of alcohol resulted in the deaths of more than 3 million individuals in 2016. The negative effects of alcohol usage on several individuals, their families, and communities include violence, accidents, mental health issues, and illnesses including cancer and stroke.
