Abstract
This article deals with the issue of alcohol abuse, especially in Polish families. Although getting drunk is condemned, everyday alcohol abuse in many families is often ignored and not treated as a serious problem of high priority. Moreover, alcohol abuse among young people is also a major educational challenge and an intergenerational problem, as many Poles see alcohol as a quick and easy way to cope with difficulties in their personal and social functioning. This text is an attempt to answer the question about the current scale and dimensions of the problem of alcohol abuse in Poland. The methodology of Catholic Social Teaching has been applied to the issue in question, which includes the observation of the problem in a social perspective, its evaluation and identification of possible solutions based on the values and principles of the CST. The article also includes some recommendations for a holistic approach that takes into account the social, moral and spiritual dimensions of the problem.
