National Alcohol Awareness Month is coming up in April. Drinking too much can harm your health. Excessive alcohol use increases your risk of injuries, violence, heart disease, some cancers, and other chronic diseases. In 2022, there were roughly 6,000 deaths due to excessive alcohol use in North Carolina.
