One Isn't Enough for Teen Drinkers

Posted by rorytate in alcoholism, alcoholic, alcohol addiction
The Baltimore Sun reported on a new study in Pediatrics that shows teenagers who drink often do so solely to get drunk. Of the 15,000 teens surveyed, 64% admitted to regular binging.
"Those rates are 'unacceptably high,' said Susan Foster, director of policy at the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. 'We're seeing an increase in rates of drinking to get drunk,

Teens Give Advice

Posted by rorytate in drug addiction, cocaine, alcoholism, alcoholic, alcohol addiction, addiction treatment, addiction
Talk about teen substance abuse typically centers on extreme behavior - getting drunk at parties, habitual drug use, and so on. But even occasional use can create a dangerous habit.
"Most teenagers will tell you gulping down an occasional glass of beer along with a cigarette at a bar is fun, not substance abuse. That's where they are wrong. One glass of beer may not be addictive, but can lead to

Higher Allowance May Add to Risk of Drinking

Posted by rorytate in alcoholism, alcoholic
A study of 10,000 15- and 16-year-olds found that teens that get larger allowances are more likely to drink. The conclusion drawn by the British researchers who conducted the study is that the higher allowances enable teens to buy their own alcohol.
"About one-third of teens in the survey said they bought their own alcohol, and they were six times more likely than their peers to drink in public

Why can't you just use a little willpower?

Posted by kellyfalcone in treatment, drug rehab, alcoholism, alcoholic, alcohol addiction, addiction
"Why can't you just use a little willpower to stop drinking?"  This question is often asked by individuals that have no understanding of alcohol and how it affects someone.  Alcoholism has little to do with what kind of alcohol one drinks, or how long one has been drinking, or even how much alcohol has been consumed.  It does have a great deal to do with a person's uncontrollable need for
