Spending for alcohol ads on T.V. by the alcohol industry grew by 22%, to more than $990 million in 2002.
According to a current report from the U.S. Task Force on Community Preventive Services, there is little evidence that designated programs actually reduce the rate of drunk driving and alcohol-related crashes, as few designated drivers actually completely abstain from drinking. The report concluded that in a great many instances, the least-intoxicated person is chosen to be the driver, which defeats the purpose of the program.
When an individual is experiencing alcohol poisoning, their breathing can slow down significantly, along with their heart rate; the gag reflex can also be negatively impacted, which can lead to death by choking.
Loved ones should make plans to talk to the alcoholic shortly after an alcohol related problem has occurred; an example of this would be speaking to an alcohol dependent person that has been arrested for driving while intoxicated-- it is important, if at all possible, for the individual to be sober prior to this intervention.
