In the single year 2005, there were more than 1.6 million hospitalizations and more than 4 million emergency room visits4 for alcohol-related conditions.
An estimated one-third of youth begin drinking alcohol before the age of 13.
Any concerns you may have about discussing drinking-related problems with your health care provider or contacting a drug rehabilitation program may stem from common misconceptions about alcoholism and alcoholic people. In our society, the myth prevails that an alcohol problem is a sign of moral weakness. As a result, you may feel that to seek help is to admit some type of shameful defect in yourself. In fact, alcoholism is a serious health problem that is no more a sign of weakness than is asthma. Moreover, taking steps to identify a possible drinking problem has an enormous payoff-a chance for a healthier, more rewarding life.
In general, the risk of youth experiencing these problems is greater for those who binge drink than for those who do not binge drink.
