Dr. Laurence Yung, MD - Alcohol Abuse
Laura Forester introduced her husband, Dr. Laurence Yung, MD who spoke on Alcohol use and abuse in Madison County. Dr. Yung told us some of things alcohol abuse could cause; such as liver damage, increased blood pressure, weight gain, increased risk of stroke, cancer of the esophagus, suicide and death. Dr. Yung also stated that many people think they don't have a drinking problem if it has not affected their work or their relationships, that is not always the case.
