excessive alcohol use

English to Latvian Medical Medical (general)
There are approximately 88 000 deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use each year in this country. Excessive alcohol use is responsible for 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) annually, or an average of about 30 years of potential life lost for each death. In 2006, there were more than 1.2 million emergency room visits and 2.7 million physician office visits due to excessive drinking. The economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption in 2006 were estimated at $223.5 billion.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Pārmērīga alkohola lietošana

Pārmērīga alkohola lietošana ir sarežģīta problēma, un to var iedalīt bīstamā lietošanā, kaitīgā lietošanā un atkarībā. Bīstama alkohola lietošana, pēc Pasaules Veselības organizācijas definīcijas, ir ”alkohola lietošanas paradumi, kas saistīti ar kaitīgu seku risku”, vienalga, vai šīs sekas ir fiziskas, garīgas vai sociālas.
