From the Paper:

"Substance abuse has become a widespread disease. These are not limited to cocaine, marijuana or opium. Indeed I am talking about the alcohol abuse. In Western culture especially consumption of alcohol is traditional, not against the law unlike other Asian countries. However, when the consumption level is too high, there are consequences to pay. In reading some of the research materials on this topic, I found that among all substance abuse, alcohol has the highest consequences. This is due to Unawareness, Lack/ inefficient risk communication, and Inherent in culture."
