Essays on Alcohol

The connection between alcohol consumption and domestic violence is one of vital importance in society. Modern culture has found a way to solve many of society’s ills, but the dangers that women and children face from the men in their lives are still all too real. The articles under consideration in this paper look at the correlations between intoxication and domestic violence. The methodologies and studies have similarities and differences with implications on their outcomes. However, the general purpose of both is to look for connections that social planners and public health planners can use to improve public education ...

Drug and substance abuse has been a critical issue in many societies. Many lives continue to be lost as a result of the use of drugs. Some of the drugs that have been widely abused include cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and alcohol. Despite the presence of stringent laws prohibiting the use of these substances, people continue to violate the law by both selling and consuming these drugs. This accounts why cases of drug related illness such as cirrhosis, which results from alcohol, continue to be prevalent in many societies (Maisto & Connors 220). Amidst the debate and war on drugs, one of the ...

These slides attempt to estimate the extent of the problem, and point out that teenage alcohol use is probably half of what it was in 1975. It has been declining for twenty years, due in part to raising the drinking age and public education campaigns against drunk driving.

Some studies tend to overestimate this problem, which is actually a declining one.

One fairly recent estimate places the number of heavy drinkers in age 12-to-21 group at 2 million and the number of alcoholics at about 1.1 million, but these estimates vary widely by age, social class, ethnicity, location and how the questions are framed.

Almost certainly there are far more ...

- Abstract For many clinical psychology is a field that holds a lot of promise of wealth and power; you have control over a person’s mind in ways that brain surgeons do not have.

Justin, a 36-year-old employee, was once a hard-working and sincere employee who spent most of his spare time helping other employees with their work. He was in line for a promotion for his selfless work attitude, and everyone on the shop floor knew about this. However, things changed a few months back and Justin began to abstain from work.

Introduction

The teenage years are filled with experimentation, searching, confusion, rebellion, poor self image and insecurity. If the above attributes are not well managed they lead to inappropriate cooping, hence causing problems such as drug dependence.

The use of alcohol and marijuana has rapidly increased amongst youths of this generation as compared to the previous generations.

I believe that alcoholism dependency is more of an individual problem rather than a societal issue, but in due course the individual dependency can become a menace to the society. Alcoholism, like any other abuse not only ruins an individual but it also creates havoc in a family and breaks relationships. Substance addiction such as that of Alcohol is an obstinate, uncontrollable dependency on the actions even after knowing the harmful results of the substance. According to me people start drinking to reduce the pain of the loss of their loved ones, and the children of the families that have a history of ...

Introduction

The goal of the treatment for alcoholism should be abstinence. Alcoholics with good health, motivation and social support have high recovery likelihood.

Success is quantified through the length of abstinence periods, reduced alcohol use, improved social behavior and better health. Treatment for alcoholism The hardest step for the alcoholic is deciding to make the change. Treatment for alcohol abuse should begin by acceptance of the problem. After acceptance, the alcoholic should stop drinking and practice sobriety (NIH ...

Alcoholism is very common for adults who consumer more than the intended amount of alcohol. Alcoholism may be acute or chronic. Acute alcoholism occurs when there is a sudden consumption of bolus amounts of alcohol in the system. In contrast, chronic alcoholism occurs when repeated abuse of alcohol is introduced in the body. Alcoholism is not limited to adults. Teenagers (mostly high school students) consume alcohol at about the same amount as with the adults. Most Americans and other Caucasians believe that ...

Everybody has the right to choose the kind of life that they want, but they should be guided at every turn to choose a life that does force them into an early grave, a lifetime in prison, or the guilt of knowing that they have deprived an individual of the right to live. When a drunken driver causes damage or even death to any member of the society, this becomes a criminal offence. They choose to drink and drive knowing that driving under the influence of alcohol can only lead to negative consequences. The government of every country has a duty to correct negative ...

Question One

The implementation of the project was faced with a number of ethical issues. The most predominant was assigning personal blame to some of the participants who had been adversely affected by alcohol and substance abuse. The ethical dilemma in this instance was that the health status of many of these individuals was caused by personal choices, for instance the choice to engage in alcohol and substance abuse (Nies & McEwen, 2013). There is a belief that individuals should be blamed personally for illnesses that result from their personal choices (Hernandez, 2011). However, previous discussions have highlighted the influence ...

- It would be hard for Mr. Wilko to stop drinking given the kind of stress he has. His self-assessment that he can stop at any time is highly unlikely, unless he runs out of money to buy drinks.

Consumption of intoxicating alcohol is sinful in Christianity. In this regard, it is important to note that although wine has been mentioned severally in the bible, it is not the intoxicated one. It is non-alcoholic (grape juice), which cannot make somebody to be drunk. For instance, in the Galilee case where Jesus changed water into wine, it is believed that the drink was commonly used as part of the meal and could not cause drunkenness. In fact, during the marriage feast nobody got drunk to result in weird scenes, as experienced in common drinking points (John 2:1-10). Moreover, in ...

The retina is one of most important part of the eye and among the most affected part as the person ages. It is apparent that every measure of visual functionality declines as the age increases (Salvi, Akhbar and Currie 2006). Given the increase in socioeconomic relevance of rapid assimilation information particularly the visually communicated information, visual impairment constitutes severe problem to the person in functioning productively in its environment. By definition, the eye retina is the sensitive layer located at the back of the eye, which covers about 65% of the eye’s interior surface (hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu, N.D.).

DNA fingerprinting requires the use of certain methodologies and tools to ensure that the sequencing process of the DNA is accurate. DNA extraction is a critical step in DNA fingerprinting. To obtain the DNA, the source has to be living as I learned from the Utah site.

In days gone by if a woman gave birth to a daughter and not a son, she was considered at fault. If a family needed an heir to be a man-child and the mother didn’t produce one, she could well have been trouble. Now we know that in fact, the father contributes either the X or the Y chromosome determining the gender of the child.

In today’s world, when gender is not an issue, if the child is born with a disability are the parents to blame? It all depends on what kind of disability. There are some congenital conditions such as Down’ ...

While many scholar psychologists argue that abstinence is perhaps the only viable way of treating drug addiction, other scholars have demonstrated that controlled use of alcohol and the addictive drug can also provide a realistic solution to the problem. It is paramount for stakeholders to agree that drug addiction is a treatable condition. However, treating drug related syndromes requires that the treatment model is tailored to the needs of the victims. One way of administering this treatment model is by allowing the victims to control their condition and live normal and productive lives. I think that drug and substance abuse is ...

During the last 20 years, comorbidity has had a growing prevalence in psychiatric disorders. Comorbidity refers to the overlap of more than one psychiatric disorder. Dual-diagnosis is a more specific diagnosis of a substance use, which can be drug or alcohol use, and other psychiatric disorders (Stinson et al., 2006). Such is the case with the subject Ken, who is presented for this paper. Ken’s sleep disturbances and lack of appetite indicate a diagnosis of depression to fulfill the psychiatric end of the dual-diagnosis. Using alcohol, underage, as a tranquilizer warrants the substance abuse diagnosis. His distraction, restlessness, and difficulties interacting with others ...

Each year, parents and students alike often worry about the extremely high costs attached to funding a high-quality education from top-notch and respected colleges and universities. From tuition fees to miscellaneous fees, budgeting is crucial to save money, and secure student future. A part of the miscellaneous fee is the living expenses of a college student, who can be given the choice of staying in campus or commuting at home. Some students opt to stay in the campus residences because they believe that it is much cheaper than commuting back home. For international students, this has been their only option to ...

There are two types of observations; systematic and unsystematic. Systematic observations are always organized, while unsystematic observations need refining process before they can be applied in research since they are unstructured. A theory on the other hand consists of a collection of assumptions of reasons that would result in creation of the rules of the way the reasons are acted upon (Maxwell, 2005). Theories are useful in coming up with research questions through the act of predictions that is based on the alternate theories or reasons leading to the same results observed (Maxwell, 2005).

Dear Editor: Temperance

The prohibition party are pushing for a ban on the sale and consumption of all alcohol in the United States. It seems to be widely believed that, without alcohol, the US would become a better place in which to live. The feeling is that prohibiting alcohol would prevent people wasting all of their wages on alcohol. Furthermore, there is a growing need to reduce antisocial behaviour, such as domestic and street violence. As many such incidents are alcohol related, banning alcohol from the country would, arguably, cut down on such behaviours. Despite the theoretical benefits to the US, I believe that ...

Sociological causes of drug use & abuse among college students: An Introduction

The college students, particularly those between the age-group of 18 and 24 are normally registered in colleges and universities. They are at increased risk for involving in risk drinking and other substance use than their non-college peers. These students have a tendency to involve in binge drinking and other drugs than other age-groups, whether or not they are registered in college. Normally, this predisposition arises because of: - Developmental traits of puberty and maturity, consisting of ongoing brain maturity through in the early 20s and the progress towards greater freedom and independence - Social and cultural standards of ...

Estimates show that, in the U.S., about 41,000 cases of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) occur in hospitals each year (CDC, 2014). CLABSI is a preventable complication that lengthens the hospital stay and increases the cost of care. It is a cause of patients’ lost productivity and undue suffering. Since 2008, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has also refused to reimburse CLABSI-related care. The negative implications for the patient and the organization call for prevention using evidence-based practice (EBP). Accessing the hub of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) is a common source of infection (Moureau, 2010). This paper ...
