Medical and teological point of view regarding the consumption of alcohol and its consequences

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we will capture the half-full glass, and relate constructively to the alcohol unit, discovering its culinary properties. But, on the other hand, abnormal patterns of alcohol consumption have been described since antiquity. Much later, with the colonial era, the industrial revolution and international trade, alcohol addiction became a global public health problem. During the 18th century, the working classes in Europe were threatened by alcoholism, while in China measures were already being taken to stop consumption. Thus, we underline the medical and theological approaches regarding the consumption of alcohol, especially wine and the necessity to have a more holistic and realistic view of this issue, which can became a problem for the health system.
