The context of this paper is set within my life journey as a hospital worker while studying in the Master of Education program, where I had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge of cardiology and apply my graduate training.I learned that certain factors impact cardiovascular health including excessive alcohol consumption, which raises concerns about cardiovascular disease. My interest in this topic began with the rising cardiovascular health issues that I have seen in adolescent patients. The significance of this topic is the long-term cardiovascular effects of adolescent alcohol consumption.Excessive amounts of alcohol consumption increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Key stakeholders including teachers, educational support staff, counsellors, school administration,and parents can make an impact through education. Key stakeholders need to be accountable to provide education to adolescent students about the risks associated with cardiovascular disease from alcohol consumption. I argue that ongoing cardiac health education with policy implementation can effectively reduce excessive adolescent alcohol consumption and prevent the long-term dismal outcomes of cardiovascular disease. Individuals with less education about cardiovascular health are more at risk of alcohol-related harms. Prevention programs can offer support to students struggling with alcohol abuse. Parents and teachers can be involved with community programs. Practical applications include learning the impacts of alcohol consumption on cardiac health and conveying knowledge in hospitals and communities. Policy implementation for the hospitals and communities include alcohol use and cardiac health education. I advocate for the key stakeholders to participate in education sessions about alcohol use to promote cardiovascular health and mitigate cardiovascular disease.
