This development raises concern, because women are more susceptible to the effects of alcohol use than men.Drinking alcohol is associated with many serious medical, social, and legal problems that carry high human and economic costs. Detrimental consequences exist not only for the minority of alcoholics and heavy drinkers, but also for society as a whole. By affecting the most productive members of Latin American society, alcohol abuse is further compromising economic stability. The devastating effects of alcohol cannot be ignored; therefore implementation of policies and education are essential to lowering these burdens.We declare that we have no conflict of interest.
