Case Study on Alcoholism

Introduction: ingesting alcoholic beverages for satisfactory results is a custom existed for thousands of years and alcohol is still a popular drug due to its short term effect (Coleman, Butcher & Carson, 1984). Large amounts of damage may be directly attributable to alcohol abuse due to loss of work, accidents caused by drunk drivers (Maltzman, 2000). Alcohol can cause other problems - 25% to 40% of inpatients are estimated to be problematic due to alcohol abuse or recovery delay (Maltzman, 2000).

In a study published in the Journal of Alcohol and Drug Research in 2009, between 1998 and 2005, the number of deaths from alcoholism in children between the ages of 18 and 24 increased from 779 to 2,290 It has almost tripled. This study also tracked the increase in hypothermia and death due to falls. Some reports link excessive drinking to sexual assault.

The report from the UK records the role of alcohol in increasing opportunities for sexual violence and rape. This research was not intended for college students, but it showed an overall connection between alcohol use and sexual assault. According to the report, 81% of sexual assaults contain alcohol and alcohol is enough to cause disorientation, memory loss, and loss of consciousness. In the case of 60%, it is doubtful that the alcohol content is "allowing victims even to agree" (French, Beynon, & Delaforce, 2007)

According to a new study supported by the National Laboratory of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the results of drinking at colleges are larger and more disruptive than generally achieved. This study is entrusted to the NIAAA University Drinking Thematic Group, and college students aged 18 to 24 drink about 1,400 students a year, 500,000 people are injured, 70 000 people have sexual assault or date rape It shows that it is doing. Over the past year, it is estimated that more than a quarter of university students are infected with alcohol. . .

This proportion has increased since the beginning of university education. In the United States today, it is estimated that about 29% of college students often drink alcohol. Another recent study by National Laboratory for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism indicates that college students died of 1,400 deaths a year, rape and attacks of 70,000 people, and 500,000 injuries per year It was.
