_______________________________________
Alcoholism is a term with multiple and sometimes conflicting definitions. In common and historic usage, alcoholism refers to any condition that results in the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, despite health problems and negative social consequences. Modern medical definitions describe alcoholism as a disease and addiction which results in a persistent use of alcohol despite negative consequences. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, alcoholism, also referred to as dipsomania described a preoccupation with, or compulsion toward the consumption of, alcohol and/or an impaired ability to recognize the negative effects of excessive alcohol consumption.
Although not all of these definitions specify current and on-going use of alcohol as a qualifier for alcoholism, some do, as well as remarking on the long-term effects of consistent, heavy alcohol use, including dependence and symptoms of withdrawal.
While the ingestion of alcohol is, by definition, necessary to develop alcoholism, the use of alcohol does not predict the development of alcoholism. The quantity, frequency and regularity of alcohol consumption required to develop alcoholism varies greatly from person to person. In addition, although the biological mechanisms underpinning alcoholism are uncertain, some risk factors, including social environment, stress, emotional health, genetic predisposition, age, and gender have been identified. For example, those who consume alcohol at an early age, by age 16 or younger, are at a higher risk of alcohol dependence or abuse. Also, studies indicate that the proportion of men with alcohol dependence is higher than the proportion of women, 7% and 2.5% respectively, although women are more vulnerable to long-term consequences of alcoholism. Around 90% of adults in United States consume alcohol, and more than 700,000 of them are treated daily for alcoholism. Professor David Zaridze, who led the international research team, calculated that alcohol had killed three million Russians since 1987.

Audience: 6-12; Synopsis: This video featuring the voices of Maine youth was produced as part of the media campaign: “If You Think Most Kids Drink–Think Again.” The “Think Again” campaign was a series of 4 television ads featuring Maine youth. The conceptual model represented by the theme “Think Most Kids Drink? Think Again!” is grounded in research that demonstrates the importance of perceived social norms in young people’s decisions about alcohol use. For a variety of reasons, including a barrage of media messages that glamorize alcohol use, young people often over perceive these norms. Their mistaken belief that “everybody else is drinking” leads to a subtle pressure to conform to a norm that doesn’t exist in reality. The fact is that most middle and high school students in Maine are not using alcohol. This expanded video incorporates additional footage with the ads to delve into some of the issues around underage drinking. The accompanying guide can be used to stimulate a discussion about underage drinking. Public domain video.

As a direct result of four teens dying in a high speed crash Memorial Day weekend, the NC State Highway Patrol is increasing manpower by nine officers to crack down on speeding as well as other driving offenses in Davidson Country through the month of July.

Officers are trying to cut down the number of driving fatalities in the county by targeting speeders, drunk drivers, aggressive drivers and seat belt violators.

Stepped up patrols will be on major highways and rural paved roads in the county.

There have been 121 fatal collisions resulting in 133 fatalities in Davidson County since January of 2002.

So far this year, there have been 18 traffic fatalities. That’s up 63.6% since this time last year.

Members of the dead teens’ families spoke at a press conference to announce the increase in law enforcement.

*********

Story from Memorial Day weekend 2007

Four teens died Saturday May 26 2007, in Davidson County, North Carolina, just one county over from Winston-Salem.

The four teens, all underage, died in the horrific wreck when the car they were riding in crashed into a tree around 2 am. The car and the dead teenagers were not discovered until 9 am. It is believed that they were wearing seatbelts, but three of the victims were thrown from the vehicle.

Law enforcement says an “extremely high rate of speed” was a factor and alcohol was found inside the car at the scene. Investigators are working with the victims’ friends and family to determine where the boys got the alcohol.

Investigators are trying to determine if alcohol played a factor in the accident.

Killed in the crash-

-Jacob Mayo, 19, Winston-Salem (driver)

-Chad Calvert, 18, Thomasville

-Zachary Main, 18, Kernersville

-Robert King, 20, Trinity

While it is yet to be determined how and if alcohol played a role in the accident and deaths of the four teens from Davidson Couty, Casey Bokhoven was definitely a victim of a drunk driver.

Casey died March 11, 2007. While standing on a sidewalk in Winston-Salem, NC, he was hit and killed by news anchor Tolly Carr.
