The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bengaluru carried out a study on excessive consumption of alcohol and found disturbing outcomes in the study.

The study has found out that Excessive consumption of alcohol will have an adverse effect on people even after a person stops alcohol intake. Alcohol alters DNA in men as well.

The study was conducted on patients who visited the NIMHANS Center for Addiction Medicine outpatient clinic for alcohol triggered issues between March 2015 to April 2016.

52 men aged 21 to 40 years were made part in the study to derive the findings. The study has found out that alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment used to force alcohol addicts to stay out of liquor might lead to chronic relapse.

The researchers have compared the study results of alcohol addicts to that of the control group. The Control group refers to participants, who do not receive the experimental treatment.

According to the data compiled by the World Health Organisation, India has an alcohol consumer percentage of 29, between the age of 15 to 54 among men.

12 percent of the Indian population consumes alcohol daily, while 41 percent of alcohol lovers booze weekly once.
