WEST SC 1.8 | Among your family and friends, what is the main reason for alcohol abuse?

Background

Alcoholism is widespread in Uganda with one of the highest consumption rates in the African region. Research shows that harmful alcohol use increases the chance of domestic violence. Excessive alcohol use also causes health risks and neglect of responsibilities. Although alcoholism can be treated with the right support, it is better to prevent people from getting addicted and over-consuming alcohol. This week we want to know why so many people resort to alcohol abuse. This is why we ask you:
