| Brief Description of Presentation<\/th>\n\t\t\t\t\t | Alcohol use is deeply woven into cultural norms and celebrated as integral to social life - yet it is quietly fueling a global health crisis. The CDC reports that over one-third of adults drink excessively, and emerging research suggests that as many as 75% of adult drinkers may fall on the Alcohol Use Disorder scale without ever recognizing it. Far from harmless, even moderate drinking is now linked to anxiety, depression, and seven types of cancer. This workshop moves beyond the traditional addiction-focused lens to examine the latest psychological science, cultural trends, and wellness research driving this epidemic. Participants will review current findings on alcohol's mental and physical health impacts, explore how societal norms normalize unhealthy drinking, and leave with practical harm reduction strategies to introduce a health-centered narrative into their counseling practice.<\/td>\n\t\t\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |
