What is our country's most
serious health problem? Is it
cancer, heart disease or
diabetes?
No, the answer, no doubt,
will shock you. The Canadian
Medical Association has
recogniz�ed,excessive alcohol
use as =one of this country's
most serious problems."
The alcoholic is just as sick
as the person suffering from
the above mentioned
diseases, but is the most
misunderstood of any.
Mr. Ellison who has been a
controlled alcoholic for eight
years spoke to WDO and gave
the ladies a deeper insight
into the facts and myths
about the alcoholic.
MYTH - Alcoholism always
happens to the other guy, or
that alcoholism is the result
of something over which the
individual has no control, or
that he has no will power.
FACT - Alcoholism is the
result of drinking increasing
amounts of liquor over a
prolonged period of time. And
it can happen to almost
anyone.
MYTH - Alcoholics are
usually derelicts on skid row -
or one classified as a ne'er do
well.
FACT - Three to five per-
cent of the total alcoholic
population is on skid row.
Half of today's alcoholics are
steadily employed, and hold
positions ranging from the
average worker to the
executive board room.
MYTH - You can't become
an alcoholic drinking beer or
wine.
FACT - It only takes 11/
glasses of wine or 11/2 mugs of
beer to equal the amount of
alcohol in one shot of 80 proof
liquor.
MYTH - Women hardly
ever become alcoholics.
FACT - In the large cities,
women match men one for
one. While in the rest of the
country one in every five
alcoholics is a female.
Alcoholism is not an illness
like measles which can be
caught overnight. Instead, it
is a slowly developing
progressive disease.
It is difficult to define
exactly when a person
becomes an alcoholic. But
there are warning signals
along the way.
e, first` real symptom is
'w'hen a firm pattern for
drinking develops, The
second ..is when drinking
within .this ` pattern is
markedly increased.
If an individual suspects he
' has become dependent upon
alcohol, he should seek help.
Alcoholics Anonymous has
had an outstanding success in
dealing with this problem.
Started in 1335 A.A. is a
loosely knit organization of
recovered alcoholics who
have bonded together into a
fellowship to help themselves
stay sober. Organizations like
Al -Anon and Al-Ateen provide
husbands, wives, parents,
and children of the alcoholic
with an understanding of the
problem.
In 1972, Canadians spent
more than two billion dollars
on alcoholic beverages. At the
same time we spent close to
one billion dollars on health
and welfare costs related to
the problem and major
collisions caused by drunken
drivers..
Alcoholism is a costly
habit, and prevention -is an
individual effort. Don't kid
yourself about your drinking.

derstanding.
