THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
Alcoholism, now known as alcohol use disorder, is a condition in which a person has a
desire or physical need to consume alcohol, even though it has a negative impact on their life
(Legg T., 2018). A person who cannot control his or her desire in consuming alcohol is
considered to be a victim of alcoholic dependency. It turns out ethanol, the type of alcohol
inside of adult beverages, is not addictive in and of itself. The chemical reactions ethanol causes
in our brains are addictive. The chemicals responsible for delivering messages from nerve cell to
nerve cell, messages that tell our bodies to function, are called neurotransmitters. They move
from transport sites to receptor sites on the nerves (Harris J., 2019). The two main inhibitory
neurotransmitter in the human body are gamma-aminobutyric acid, known as GABA and the
other one is called Dopamine. Consumption of alcohol increases the production of these two
According to Origin Behavioral Healthcare, the main reasons why people drink alcoholic
beverages are the following: to relieve stress; peer pressure and camaraderie; to lose one’s
inhibitions. Because of the continuous intake of alcoholic beverages, some of the tippler have
experienced health risks. This includes liver disease, pancreatitis, cancer, ulcers and
vitamin deficiencies, osteoporosis, heart disease and cardiovascular health and accidents and
each year. In 1995, Filipinos were seen to be the number one wine drinkers in Asia consuming a
total of 146,000 bottles of wine that year. Generally, however, beer is the favourite among
Filipinos principally because of its affordability compared to hard drinks. In 1998, the Filipinos
were reported to have consumed about 1.25 billion litres of beer (equivalent to 3.9 billion of beer
bottles). But among youth drinkers, even at $30 cents a bottle, beer is relatively expensive for
them. A $40 cents bottle of Tanduay gin, which is stronger or more intoxicating, can fill a few
hours of drinking for a small group. Middle and upper class Filipinos, on the other hand, with a
much greater disposable income, could spend more money on alcohol, treating themselves to the
likes of Johnny Walker and Chivas Regal which cost up to $50. As for the World Health
Organization (WHO), globally, 3.3 million deaths every year result from the harmful use of
alcohol.
