Alcohol drinking has been a vital part of various Filipino celebrations and festivals, creating camaraderie and a celebratory spirit.

Some Filipinos turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism for stress, as it slows down brain function and can induce feelings of relaxation and calmness.

During the pandemic in 2021, more Filipinos became alcohol drinkers, with the Department of Health (DOH) reporting that 40%, or 4 out of 10 Filipinos, were alcohol drinkers.

The DOH warns the public that any amount of alcohol, whether in small or large quantities, is not considered safe for health.

Addressing this concern, Paul Filomeno, a medical doctor and representative of the Philippine Addiction Specialists Society, has discussed the risks of alcohol drinking.

He will also discuss the Sin Tax Coalition's initiatives to make alcohol products less accessible and marketable among Filipinos.
