_______________________________________
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.

Borger, Texas Police dash cam video showing the arrest of DA Clay Ballman after hitting another vehicle driven by a teenage girl who followed the intoxicated DA while calling 911 until his car came to a stop. The police were forced to break out glass to open the door. Count the number of times the police ask the “Boss” to get out of his car. Is this resisting arrest? Would the police be that patient with an ordinary citizen who pays their salaries through tax dollars?

UPDATE! So apparently, when she said she would take people’s names so they could go to her show later that night, she already had a full guest list, an overbooked show, and therefor none of these extra people were gained admittance.

This is Lady Sovereign on May 21st, 2009 at Easy Street Records in Seattle, WA. She was scheduled to do a free in-store performance as a promo for her new CD. She was clearly intoxicated from the get go, and after nearly completing one song, she stopped the show.
Granted, she did say that she would take names for anyone who wanted to see her show later that night at the Crocodile Cafe, for free. HOWEVER… That was a 21+ show, so anyone underage that came to see her would not be able to attend.
In her defense, it’s a free in-store performance where the artist usually does not get paid. But does that give her the right to call it off? Especially when her only other concert in town was 21+?

Personally, I think not.

ALSO: I never thought I would say this, but thank you PerezHilton.com! When I left for work my video had roughly 200 views, and when I got back home it was over 30,000! WOWZ.
And, I feel absolutely ridiculous for having to clarify this, but when I said “I want my money back”… it was meant as a joke… moron.

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.

Four North Carolina Teens Killed In Car Crash- Memorial Day weekend 2007

Four friends were killed in a high speed wreck that was so forceful it ripped out seat belts and sliced the car in half, police say.

Davidson County, NC — The wreck occurred early Saturday near Thomasville.

Robert King, 20, of Trinity; Jacob Mayo, 19, of northern Davidson County; John “Chad” Calvert, 18, of Thomasville, and Zachary Main, 18, of Kernersville, died in the wreck.

Police said alcohol was suspected in the wreck and a blood test was being conducted on the driver.

Mayo was driving a 1998 Nissan Altima which ran off both sides of Burton Road, ran a stop sign, hit a wire and then a tree, which cut the car in half, said Highway Patrol Trooper Mickey Mantel. He declined to release an estimate of the speed.

“It’s going to put a real damper on this summer and it’s going to make a lot of people reconsider what they do. It’s going to make a lot of people cautious,” says Christopher John, a friend of one of the victims.

The crash was discovered about 8:45 a.m. by a passing driver, who saw a body lying in a field

The crash happened about a hundred yards away from the Hasty Fire Department. Firefighters there say they heard a loud sound around 2 a.m. Saturday.

But it wasn’t until a driver passed by around 9 a.m. when they reported the crash. One firefighter says they thought a car went into a ditch and was able to get out.

As of late Saturday, the Highway Patrol said seven people had died in wrecks across the state during the Memorial Day weekend.
