Alcoholism Frontmatter 2/24/04 8:03 AM Page 5 Contents Foreword 12 Introduction 14 Chapter 1: How Serious Are the Problems of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse? Chapter Preface 18 Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse Are Serious Problems Alcoholism Is a Serious Problem by Well-Connected 19 Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive disease that affects millions of Americans. It can cause a large number of medical problems and is associated with violence and child abuse. Alcoholism can be hard to detect because there is no clear point at which problem drinking be- comes alcohol dependence. Recovering alcoholics can learn absti- nence but must constantly guard against the possibility of relapse. Children of Alcoholics Face Many Problems by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 30 The people harmed most by alcoholism are often not the alcoholics themselves, but their families. Children raised in alcoholic homes are more likely to abuse alcohol or other drugs later in life and often develop serious emotional problems as a means of coping with their parent’s drinking problem. Alcohol Abuse Is a Serious Problem for Teenagers by Center for Science in the Public Interest 32 Alcohol is the most widely abused drug among youth. Alcohol abuse among young people is associated with health problems, teen suicide, traffic accidents, crime, sexually transmitted diseases, and problems in school. In addition, underage drinking is often the first step toward other types of drug abuse. Binge Drinking on College Campuses Is a Serious Problem by J.J. Thompson 38 Most college administrators are not aware of the frequency with which college students abuse alcohol. Binge drinking is a wide- spread problem on college campuses, one that is associated with low grades, unsafe sexual practices, and violence. Colleges that restrict the use of alcohol on campus and provide students with nonalco- holic activities and events have lower rates of binge drinking. Alcoholism Frontmatter 2/24/04 8:03 AM Page 6 The Problems of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse Are Exaggerated The Dangers of Alcohol Are Exaggerated by Stanton Peele 44 For decades the temperance movement has exaggerated the dangers of alcohol and the risk of alcoholism. This has led to irrational alco- hol policies, such as raising the legal drinking age to 21, that have not helped to reduce alcohol-related problems. There are some indi- cations that the strong anti-alcohol sentiment in America is begin- ning to recede, in part because of the government’s admission that moderate drinking can help prevent heart disease. However, Ameri- cans still retain a very negatively biased view of alcohol. Alcohol Consumption Is Unfairly Condemned by Colman Andrews 50 Drinking can be a very pleasurable activity, and even drinking to the point of intoxication is not wrong if it is done responsibly and in the appropriate setting. However, it is becoming increasingly unaccept- able to drink alcohol at all, and those who do drink frequently or heavily are often erroneously regarded as alcoholics. This negative view of alcohol is unjustified; alcohol misuse, not alcohol itself, should be the target of public disapproval. The Extent of Binge Drinking Among Young People Is Exaggerated by David J. Hanson 59 The term “binge drinking” describes an extended period of heavy drinking in which the drinker gives up his or her usual obligations in order to become intoxicated. However, some researchers have de- fined bingeing simply as the consumption of five or more drinks in one day. This has led to deceptive statistics that make it seem as though most teenagers and college students are heavy drinkers. In reality, binge drinking among young people has been declining for years. Chapter 2: Is Alcoholism a Disease? Chapter Preface 64 Yes: Alcoholism Is a Disease Physicians Should Treat Alcoholism as a Disease by Thomas R. Hobbs 65 For decades the medical community has recognized that alcoholism is a progressive, often fatal disease that is influenced by genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors. Yet studies indicate that many doctors still view alcoholism as merely a behavioral problem, and consequently often fail to detect or treat the disease. Hospitals and medical schools must help physicians understand that alco- holism is a preventable, treatable disease. Addiction Is a Disease by Greg Skipper 69 The medical concept of disease is often misunderstood by the gen- eral public. Many people think that diseases indiscriminately attack healthy bodies, whereas alcoholism or other drug addictions are brought on by substance abuse. In fact, many diseases, such as heart Alcoholism Frontmatter 2/24/04 8:03 AM Page 7 disease or lung cancer, are brought on by unhealthy behaviors. The disease model of addiction is compatible with the idea that addicts are responsible for their behavior. Alcoholism Has a Genetic Basis by Marc Alan Schuckit 73 Just as individuals have different genetic susceptibilities for heart disease or cancer, they also have different genetic risks for develop- ing alcoholism. Studies have shown that children of alcoholics are more likely to develop alcoholism, even when they are raised in adoptive families where alcohol is not prevalent. However, no one is predestined by their genes to become an alcoholic; individuals who are aware of a family history of alcoholism can always choose not to drink. Alcoholics Should Not Be Blamed for Their Disease by W. Waldo 76 Alcoholism is a brain disease that occurs in people who have a ge- netic susceptibility to this type of addiction. Alcoholism has a bio- logical basis, just like cancer or diabetes, and telling alcoholics that their disease is a result of weak character or insufficient willpower is just as wrong as telling cancer patients or diabetics that they are responsible for their diseases. When someone is diagnosed with al- coholism, they should receive treatment, not moral criticism. No: Alcoholism Is Not a Disease The Genetic Basis of Alcoholism Has Been Exaggerated by Stanton Peele 78 There is little evidence to support the idea that alcoholism is an in- herited disease. Studies purporting to show the link between alco- holism and genetics often have conflicting or ambiguous results. Moreover, even the scientists conducting such research acknowl- edge that genetics can explain only part of the problem, and that cul- tural and social factors play a large role in the development of alco- holism. Treating Alcoholism as a Disease Harms Alcoholics by Edward A. Dreyfus 83 Alcoholism was originally termed a disease in order to help people understand that it was a serious problem for which they should seek help. However, the disease metaphor is being overused and applied to all manner of individuals, from “workaholics” to smokers. As the use of the term “disease” increases, alcoholics and other emotion- ally disturbed people are coming to believe they are “sick,” and need medical rather than psychological help to overcome their addictions. Chapter 3: How Effective Is Alcoholics Anonymous? Chapter Preface 90 Alcoholics Anonymous Is Effective Alcoholics Anonymous Is Effective by Robert Zimmerman 91 Alcoholics Anonymous has over 2 million members worldwide, all Alcoholism Frontmatter 2/24/04 8:03 AM Page 8 of whom attend regular meetings where they help each other stay sober. The organization has helped thousands of alcoholics over- come their disease, and AA teachings have also been used to treat other types of addiction. Alcoholics Anonymous is over 60 years old, but its original twelve-step philosophy has not changed at all in that time. AA’s Emphasis on Spirituality Benefits Alcoholics by William W. May 95 In order to achieve long-term sobriety, alcoholics must undergo a “moment of clarity”—a spiritual awakening through which individ- uals are able to find the inner strength to overcome alcoholism. Alcoholics Anonymous works because it teaches people how to achieve this spiritual experience and use it to stay sober.

Overview: Tasks and Decision Like Phases One and Two, DWI Detection Phase Three, Pre-arrest Screening has two major evidence gathering tasks and one major decision. Phase Three: Pre-Arrest Screening Your first task in Phase Three is to administer three scientifically validated Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. If your agency uses preliminary breath tests (PBTs), your second task would be to administer (or arrange for) a PBT to confirm the chemical basis of the subject's impairment. Based on these tests and on all other evidence from Phase One and Two, you must decide whether there is sufficient probable cause to arrest the subject for DWI. The entire detection process culminates in the arrest/no arrest decision.

  • Interview/Questioning Techniques
    Session 6-Phase Two: Personal Contact Interview/Questioning Techniques • Asking for two things simultaneously • Asking interrupting or distracting questions • Asking unusual questions DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing 6-13 D. Interview/Questioning Techniques There are a number of techniques you can use to assess impairment while the driver is still behind the wheel. Most of these techniques apply the concept of divided attention. They require the driver to concentrate on two or more things at the same time. They include both questioning techniques and psychophysical (mind/body) tasks. These techniques are not as reliable as the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests but they can still be useful for obtaining evidence of impairment. THESE TECHNIQUES DO NOT REPLACE THE SFSTs. Questioning Techniques The questions you ask and the way in which you ask them can constitute simple divided attention tasks. Three techniques are particularly pertinent: • Asking for two things simultaneously • Asking interrupting or distracting questions • Asking unusual questions. An example of the first technique, asking for two things simultaneously, is requesting the driver to produce both the driver's license and the vehicle registration. Possible evidence of impairment may be observed as the driver responds to this dual request.

    FIRST SECTION Experiences of the Lahti project Marja Holmila Introduction The Lahti Project is a multi component community action programme aimed at the prevention of alcohol related harms. The project site is the city of Lahti in Finland. The project relies to a great extent on the work of local professionals. It includes work in developing local alcohol policy discussion, education and information, health care intervention for heavy drinkers, youth work, support for family members and server training. Formative, process and outcome evaluation research are being conducted in order to assess the impact of the project (Holmila 1992; 1995). The programme is an experimental one, and its purpose is to obtain information about the feasibility and possibilities of local prevention. For that reason research has an important role in the project. The programme started during the autumn of 1992, and was mostly finished by the end of 1994, even if some parts are still being continued. The final report is currently being written, and will contain description of the processes, research results of the community's life- styles, responses to alcohol use and evaluation of the project (Holmila 1996). This paper will not be a comprehensive presentation of the Lahti project. The paper gives a short summary of the project’s main features, and discusses in more detail some issues related to the process of working and the relations between research and action. Starting the project The initiative to start Lahti project came from several sources simultaneously. When the wish to start such action had developed independently both in the city of Lahti, among alcohol educators and among researchers, the project began without difficulties.
