The e-portal — www.alcoholwebindia.in — has been jointly developed by the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), run by the AIIMS, and WHO, Geneva. The portal was launched on Saturday and has a web-based self-help programme for people who wish to reduce the use of alcohol or stop drinking.
The director of AIIMS, Dr R C Deka said that this would enable users to assess their drinking pattern and check their drinking habit even without seeing a doctor or a counsellor. According to the Global Status Report (2011) published by WHO, the harmful use of alcohol results in approximately 2.5 million deaths per year — that is 4% of deaths worldwide.
A senior doctor said, "The incidence of alcohol abuse among women, particularly those living in cities, is on the rise. Depression, anxiety, family history and interpersonal problems are some of the common reasons for this."
Women who tend to drink, doctors say, are likely to suffer from hepatitis than men who drink the same amount of alcohol. This is because they weigh lesser, have lesser body water and lower levels of alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes resulting in a higher amount of alcohol in the systemic circulation.
