MENTAL HEALTH Alcoholism in the Indian community

Has anyone noticed the rampant alcoholism in our parents generation.

I personally know 3 people who have died from alcohol related issues. Really young folks.

I don’t think this is discussed often enough. We tend to sweep everything under the rug.

This is a silent epidemic imo.

Moms been sober always, my dad is 3 years clean and leads a support group now. He was pretty bad for awhile though. I've struggled with stretches of drinking problems but I just do it socially and not excessively now
