| The Alcohol Related Problems And Alcohol Related Deaths That Are Interlinked With Irresponsible Drinking And What Can Be Done About Alcohol Addiction And Alcohol Abuse In The U.S. On an annual basis, how many alcoholics fail to get the professional alcohol treatment they require? How many people die each year from a condition that is 100% preventable, such as alcohol poisoning? How many individuals are the victims of alcohol related crime or violence each and every year? How many individuals get injured or lose their lives in alcohol related traffic accidents every year? How many people face serious consequences in their lives because they received a "drunk driving" conviction? How many junior high, high school, and college students lose their lives every year due to an alcohol overdose? How many children are born each year with fetal alcohol syndrome? How many people's lives are cut short due to hazardous and irresponsible drinking? How many individuals lose their lives every year because of drinking problems? So what is the main reason for asking these questions? Basically to emphasize the devastating and destructive nature of hazardous and excessive drinking. In fact, and based on the questions articulated above, it's a wonder why anyone would choose to drink in an irresponsible and abusive manner. Stated differently, with the host of employment dilemmas, legal proceedings, relationship problems, health difficulties, and financial issues that are linked to alcohol addiction and chronic alcohol abuse, why would any individual with common sense want to drink in a hazardous and abusive manner? In fact when some of the above topics are examined more closely, unhealthy and abusive drinking becomes more illogical and makes even less sense. Wouldn't you imagine that chronic alcohol abusers would be able to see some of the alcoholism symptoms that they exhibit? In a similar manner, doesn't it seem feasible to think that more alcoholics would be able to see some of the alcoholism signs that they display? Moreover, would you not think that people who are alcohol dependent would try to learn more about their alcoholic symptoms by reading about various alcohol-related information, facts and statistics? After reviewing the alcohol addiction and alcohol abuse research findings, the point is so important that it needs to be reiterated: With all of the damaging and disastrous effects that are directly or indirectly correlated with repetitive and continuous alcoholism and alcohol abuse, why would any person want to involve himself or herself in excessive and careless drinking? What can be done about the pervasive nature of alcohol dependency and alcohol abuse in our country? First, society needs to get the message to more people about the unhealthy and debilitating consequences of careless and abusive drinking. Second, people who are alcohol dependent or alcohol abusers need to look look at themselves candidly and ask why they are not getting the professional alcohol therapy they need. Thirdly, our students need more meaningful and more relevant preventative and educational approaches and methods so that more students at all grade levels, including those at college, are "reached". And fourth, our students need to learn how to become problem solvers in life instead of getting easily attracted to the "quick fix" and the "instant gratification" of an alcohol or drug abuse "buzz" or "high". There's lots of room for optimism and hope if people can start drinking responsibly and those who engage in hazardous and abusive drinking can become encouraged to get the alcohol treatment they need. Indeed, why put your loved ones through suffering, turmoil, and pain because of your careless and abusive drinking when you have the power to control your life by drinking responsibly or even quitting drinking if you can't control your drinking? |
