Alcohol is an established part of the Australian community and culture, but its habitual consumption is associated with significant negative societal consequences.
Not only does excessive alcohol use increase the chances of accidents, injuries, and violence, but it is also causally related to many chronic severe medical conditions.

The signs and symptoms of alcohol use disorders are presented, together with a consideration of the factors influencing the disease’s development.
We also discuss the most common serious health conditions linked to chronic alcohol abuse.
Completing this module will enable nurses to identify the effects of intoxication or dependence and help them advise on the short- and long-term dangers of alcohol consumption.

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
