SOCIAL DISEASES

Alcoholism :
It is a social disease. It ruins the health of the people and causes a loss of manpower and hampers economic progress. It may lead to increased accidents, social crimes and other illegal activities. People start with small quantities out of curiosity and pleasure and soon become addict to it and take to heavy drinking.

Drug addiction :
Primarily drugs are meant for treatment of a disease. But sometimes people start taking drugs even though they don’t have any disease. They do so for excitement or pleasure or to relieve themselves of mental
tension. Constant and regular use of these drugs forms a habit and once acquired, it becomes very difficult to
get rid off this habit. This condition is called Drug Addiction. Like alcoholism it is also a social disease.
