Problems with one's family, social life, health, work, money or the law that are caused by drinking are among the most of an underlying drinking problem.
The manual stresses that alcohol abuse can use a daily diary to record discharge.
Some of the factors associated with drinking that were pointed out in the II report are
Women are at a higher risk for developing liver disease and for becoming physically addicted to alcohol.
- Compared with light drinkers and abstainers, heavy drinkers are twice as likely to die of cancer or heart disease than are similarly likely to die of cirrhosis of the liver.
- Depending on how much alcohol is consumed, a drinker may fail a breathalizer test up to 24 hours after the last drink.
- Heavy drinkers are six times as likely to commit suicide and three times as likely to die in a car accident.
- Drinking too much too fast can cause death by paralyzing the part of the brain that controls breathing, but this is rare.
Alcohol described as 80 proof
means that it contains 80 percent of
the amount of alcohol needed to catch fire when added to a gunpowder mixture. This method was used long ago as proof that the liquor held enough alcohol.
Sakari Sariola, professor of sociology and teacher of the class, said, "Obviously, this program is not for everybody. It is for those troubled by their excessive use of alcohol. It aims at self-analysis and improvement."
"Also, you don't have to follow the method blindly. You can modify and improve it according to your own situation and needs."
John E. Colyer Jr., clinical director at the Douglas County Citizen's Commission on Alcoholism, said, "I think it would work for situational abusers, people who only abuse alcohol in times of stress. For those who are truly alcoholic, addicted and dependent, we advocate total abstinence."
He used college students as an example of people prone to situationally
"People go away to school and find there are a lot of activities centered around a keg. It's easy to go through a period of abuse. They may realize what's going on when they graduate or get into trouble and decide to reduce their drinking to more socially acceptable levels," he said.

Add
have shorter add periods
"It should be noted, however, that the hedgepodge of dates makes effective communication and administration quite difficult." Burchell's letter said.
Differences in departmental lengths of add periods would confuse students, Burchill wrote.
The letter said many faculty have complained that it was difficult to settle down classes during the add period. Also, add periods of two weeks or less are more common at other universities.
About 30,000 students went through add-drop during the first two weeks of the fall 1868 semester, the letter was written to them and distributed through during the last two weeks.
ment musical chairs. Earlier decisions would benefit students and teachers.
Lineberry said the four-week per iod let students play a sort of enroll-
"I can't imagine it's in the students' interest to add a class when it's 20 percent." he said.
"You're going to have a really peculiar situation," she said.
SenEx member Sharon Brehm, director of the honors program, said Friday in the Faculty Executive Committee meeting that the proposal to cut the add period should also include a cut in the drop period.
Brehm said students would add as many classes as possible during the two weeks, but would have four weeks to drop.
"The intent of this is very good," she said. "But it would be much better if the drop period would be at the same time."
