From the article:
For every one person who is alcoholic there are about six who are problem drinkers, drinking enough to adversely affect their lives, their health, their work situation or family situation,” CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said.
The CDC estimates that excess drinking causes 88,000 U.S. deaths each year and costs the economy more than $220 billion in addition to contributing to numerous social and chronic health problems.
If this was talking about controlled drugs or the illegal ones… that are readily available .. do you think that the conclusion would have been the same.. Isn’t alcohol considered a DRUG ? SO… excessive drinking is “drug abuse “????
BUT… there is a huge tax revenue stream there… but that couldn’t influence the outcome of this report .. could it ?
