What Constitutes a “Drinking Problem”?
Question by Me: What constitutes a “drinking problem”?
I’m concerned for my roommate…I worry that she may have an alcohol problem. I don’t really bring it up with her that often, because I’m no expert…and she just kind of laughs me off when we talk about it. She’s not the “classic” alcoholic – she doesn’t drink every day, in fact I only really see her drink a few times a month – maybe two or three times. But – when she DOES drink, she always does it to drown her emotions (she’ll openly admit this). It’s always a response to her being depressed or having a bad day at work (she has a really stressful job). And she never stops at just one – she’ll usually drink the entire bottle of wine, or a whole 6-pack of whatever. It’s always in large quantities, and always for the wrong reasons (in my opinion, anyway). Sometimes she goes out and parties, like a lot of us do, but she’s almost always the one who passes out or vomits all over the place…she’s never just buzzed, she’s always completely wasted. But like I said…she doesn’t do this often. So in her eyes, she doesn’t have a problem.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse has recently charted the death rate caused by alcoholism. A part of it belongs to the students’ community.
Around 1500 college goers die yearly just out of binge drinking. The reasons of death can be consumption of excess alcohol that damages the liver and many are caused due to accidents while driving after getting drunk. The number is not too small to mention just one sector of the victims. On the average it is around 45% of students getting involved into excessive drinking of alcohol.
Poisoning process
Alcohol is not something really bad if consumed in a limited way. The trouble begins when you go out of control. Too much drinking leads to gradual internal poisoning process and in turn it causes severe damage to the health.

Alcohol is the most widely used substance of abuse among America’s youth. A higher percentage of young people, ages 12 to 20, use alcohol (29 percent) than use tobacco (24 percent) or illicit drugs (14 percent), making underage drinking a leading public health problem in the United States. A new national effort to encourage parents to speak with their children about this critical problem is under way. Some people find it hard to believe that by the time they reach eighth grade, 41 percent of adolescents have had at least one drink, and almost 20 percent report having been drunk. It’s also a fact that adults who had first used alcohol before age 15 are five times more likely to report dependence on or abuse of alcohol than adults who first used it at age 21 or older. In addition to its negative impact on health, alcohol use among youth is strongly correlated with violence, risky sexual behavior, poor academic performance, driving incidents and other harmful behaviors.
