1. The social, physical,
psychological components differ
from one individual to another
and there appears to be no type of
personality pSychologically prone
to developing alcoholism.
2. Three per cent of any given
population are alcholic, and an
additional three per cent are
problem drinkers.
3. In any given situation an
average of four members of the
alcoholic's family are affected.
' 4. In Frances 50 per cent of
hospital admissions are related to
alcohol.
5. In Ontario the rate is
'estimated at 20 per cent, but may
not be accurate because of the
number of false admissions.'
Ontario - doctors are concerned
about the increasing numbers of
alcoholics in this province.
6. It is not understood why
Italy, which has the highest
consumption of alcohol of any
country in the world, also has the
lowest rate of cirrhosis , of the
liver.
7. The removal of restrictions
increases the amount of alcohol
consumed.
8. Many people who become
alcoholics are from the middle
class and have•become dependent
on alcohol through the cocktail
hour.
9. Changing patterns of
consumption may indicate a
problem.
10. Alcoholism is appearing at a
younger age than ever before an(
is a matter of serious concern to
physicians. Statistics indicate
there are five' times as many
alcohol-related automobile
accidents involving adolescents
between 15 and 19 years of age
today compared wtih 1972.
11. There are many antitheses
in the treatment of alcoholism as
there are in the thoughts on its
origin: Some persons say
alcoholism is a disease, others
suggest a person is born with it.
Some insist on total abstinence in
treatment, others feel that it is
possible to return to social
drinking. Calling it a disease
gives one a practical working
starting point

not be pregnant or even have a
family to attend. If you are a wife
and hope some day to have

successfully nursed her baby,
helped another* who wanted to
breastfeed.
