While most of us are sitting back enjoying the football there are those who take things to extremes.
Becoming obsessed with the football to the detriment of a normal life is one potential snag, as is the temptation to use the tournament as an excust te binge-drink.
Dr Wayne Kampers, consultant at the Priory Altrincham blogs: Many fans will wathc the match at the pub with friends, or at home with a constant supply of cans and bottles. Alcohol consumption is sure to rocket during the World Cup and while most supporters will drink responsibly there will be those that go too far.
Binge drinking is a very serious health and social issue, which could have far reaching consequences if not controlled.
Some studies show that drinking a large amount of alcohol over a short period of time may be significantly worse for your health then drinking small amounts frequently.
Priory Group's own research has found that 23% of adults have a drink to 'cheer up' when they fell a bit low so as well as celebrating victory fans will be drowing their sorrows following a defeat.
