ABSTRACT

The complexities of mental health and alcohol use have long been linked, with both risks and advantages to the individual. An in-depth analysis of the complex connection between alcohol use and mental health is provided in this article, which also provides a fair analysis of this complex problem. Even though moderate alcohol usage has been linked to potential social and psychological advantages, excessive or long-term use can result in a variety of mental health issues. In addition to an increased risk of substance addiction disorders, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders are frequent side effects of heavy drinking. However, there is still much room for discussion and investigation into how to balance potential benefits and risks. In order to enhance overall mental health and give people the ability to make educated decisions about their alcohol usage, it is essential to understand and manage the hazards connected with alcohol.
