World Day of Temperance and Fight Against Alcoholism
Every year, on October 3, in many countries, activities within the framework of World Day of Temperance and Fight Against Alcoholism are held. This date is not among the official ones, since it does not have such a status and was not established by any of the international organizations. Nevertheless, doctors and social workers around the world are sounding the alarm and urge humanity to pay attention to the problem of alcoholism and its consequences.
Spread of alcohol consumption among young people and teenagers is a particular caution. Often law enforcement, social security and medical institutions are faced with cases of alcohol poisoning among older students.
It is believed that October 3 was chosen as the date of the World Day of Temperance and Fight Against Alcoholism in memory of John Finch - a public figure of the United States of the late 19th century, struggling with drunkenness. Throughout his life, this man dedicated to the education of the population of the state in which he lived, conducting lectures and seminars on the topic of the harm of alcohol and the fight against alcoholism.
On this day, state and public organizations hold lectures, seminars, exhibitions devoted to alcoholism and the problems caused by this disease. At these events, narcologists, psychologists and psychiatrists talking, which indicates the nature of the disease, which is, in fact, an addiction. Youth organizations, attracting volunteers, carry out flash mobs and distribute leaflets and booklets calling at least once a year to completely abandon the use of any type of alcoholic beverages.
The state policy is to restricting the sale of alcohol by the age, a time limit on the sale of alcohol, prohibiting the advertising of alcohol products through the media, and educational activities through public and health institutions.
There are many reasons for wanting to drink alcohol: this is the desire to relieve fatigue, get rid of depression, celebrate the holiday with a cheerful feast, just raise your mood, etc. However, the consequences of systematic use of alcohol lead to the dependence of the body on alcohol.
Among the consequences of the use of alcoholic beverages, fatal cases are frequent when a person dies because of the poisoning with poor-quality alcohol or simply an overdose, when the amount of alcohol consumed becomes too large.
Among the systematic actions to combat the alcoholization of the population, States are invited to develop and implement a whole range, including such as tax regulation of sales and regulation of the pricing system of alcoholic beverages, promotion of healthy lifestyles, provision of advertising time for social advertising of public health and education with involvement of experts of the corresponding level, the law of responsibility in the commission of an offense or crime in a drunken state, the development of an affordable and effective system for the treatment of people with alcohol dependence.
