Study notes
A 2023 Lancet study: alcohol causes ~2.6 million deaths yearly — no safe level, contrary to old 'red wine is healthy' claims. India’s 2019 Motor Vehicles Act raised drunk-driving fines to ₹10,000 because alcohol causes ~30% of road deaths. Bollywood's glorified drinking scenes correlate with earlier teen drinking initiation — media matters. De-addiction centres use counselling plus drugs like naltrexone that blunt alcohol craving.
