Alcohol addiction can shorten your lifespan by 10 to 30 years. Even if you think you can manage your life around your drinking, over time you could suffer job loss, damaged relationships, legal and financial problems and poor health, including a higher risk for cancer and mental problems such as depression. Alcohol consumption is linked to higher incidences of domestic violence, auto accidents and divorce.
