- The past 100 years witnessed the formation of a disease concept of alcoholism and a rapid increase in the knowledge of its aetiopathology and treatment options. In the first half of the century, public sanctions aimed at the abolition of alcoholism. In the United States, alcohol prohibition was revoked in the economic turmoil of the Great Depression. In Germany, proposed medical procedures to reduce the fertility of alcoholics had catastrophic consequences during the fascist dictatorship.
A revived focus on alcoholics as patients with a right to medical treatment came out of self-organized groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous. The current disease concept includes the psychosocial and neurobiological foundations and consequences of alcoholism.
Alcoholism is the underrated killer in the US. Because over drinking and the whole culture around drinking is romanticized in ads and tradition.
There was a black comedian(forgot his name) who made that point that the KKK was not on crack when they lynched and killed blacks, they were drunk on whiskey.
The goverment favors profit over its citizens well physical and mental being. That so called mental health awareness is bullshit
Underrated by who exactly?
@@Tevin-w3c First, by government health agencies. They have tons of literature on the danger of excessive drinking....which is good but nothing on the secondary victims of overdrinking; messed up children, lost jobs, generational trauma etc..
Our culture: Watch the Monday night Football beer commercials. Fraternities: They honor members that drink the most ( I was in one). Many pledges drop out of school because they drank their way out Third, underage binge drinking. I'm retired HS teacher...saw hung over kids al the time on MOndays.
This is not to mention the effects on productivity in the office or in industry.
Vehicular manslaughter (murder)" Check out the stats.
In other words, it's so accepted and romanticized that questioning it is almost impossible.
Alcoholism is the only disease you can get yelled at for having. -Mitch Hedberg.
Absolutely there's hope . but alcoholism is genetic. It's in our DNA . my uncle's and grandfather were alcoholics . I don't drink anything much now but I certainly get the cravings for it. That's one of the signs
I will say this - I'm 51 and I'm not trying to be a hypocrite !! Cause in my teen years and my Navy years back in the mid 90's I drove drunk every night. I'm not proud of it. But in this day in age with Uber Lyft Taxi etc... There is no excuse for driving hammered !! If you can't drive don't drive! But it's hard to get a drunk to call an Uber !
Progressive understanding of addiction. Back in Ireland at that time no AA nothing but thousands of pub's.The Irish psyche at that time was drink till you drop. Alcohol destroy this country and still. On top of this we have ( addiction ) running through our population. A Cultural change is needed, but how to start this process is the question. Lateral thinking outside the box. 🤔☘️
Same in scotland, the drink still ravages famillies and communities
@@easybakeoven3624 Government gave up caring for it's citizen year's ago. This planet is run as a business.There is no room for goodness kindnesses or a willingness to change this state of being. Why do we ignore discard all that is good and build apon this foundation. We definitely lost our way. We possess the ability to make the right decision about our future. I don't know how we could make this happen. How did others do it in our past. It's not really living the way the majority survive on this unique one of a kind planet. The ancient people are depicted giving thanks to mother earth because of the way she provided for all. The only way I can explain the present destruction of people's and land on this planet. GREED and POWER are the driving force that has driven the life cycle on earth. Doing the maths ,we cannot change this outcome because we have built a program to follow from the cradle to the grave. We have the potential to change but not the willingness. We are the number 8. ✌️☘️

@@feleciaclemons5074 Addiction is not about the substance one takes. It's about the behaviours associated with the substance.There are many types and variants of addiction's and not all are drug and drink issue's.As long as we treat everyone the same way ,there is no change. Logic tells us that because we treat everyone the same if one fails they all fail because of the heard policy, so if one is a failure they all fail.One size does not fit all. Why haven't the government's of every country and the W,H,O, change their policy of treatment's for certain branches of addiction's, like putting their resources and energy finding a cure. The world is beating a dead horse but are happy to go along with the constant failure of treatment's, why because it's lucrative are cash cow for all treatment programs got to do with addiction. Treat but don't cure is their motto, follow the money. ✌️☘️
stop the dope
Who remembers the middle class ✊🏼🕶️
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@Mhel2023
Sounds like alcohol and other drugs do people the same way. Nothing has changed much.
It’s the amount of choices to pick from and what type of feeling you choose to dig your grave with that has changed I think
75000, now it's more 7 million
Alcohol its almost worldwide problem.
The saying that one is too many and a thousand ain’t enough is the truth

I looked up Joseph Kendis MD. He lived to be 96 (2004). I guess he kept his drinking to a minimum.

my mother drank when she was pregnant with my siblings and my friend's mother used heroin when she was pregnant with him, he has no birth defects, my siblings brains and bodies did not develop correctly and they all have various degrees of physical and mental birth defects.
