Gender, age and socioeconomic status are predisposing factors to regular binge drinking, and the burden of alcohol abuse is approximately six times higher in males (World Health Organization, 2003). Charles, Valenti & Miller (2011) discovered in a sample of adults aged 19 years and over, 15% of participants were regular binge drinkers and almost one-third of patients aged 18-24 years were regular binge drinkers. Patients from an English speaking background were twice as likely to binge drink regularly as those from non-English speaking backgrounds (Charles, Valenti, & Miller, 2011). Remote populations were more likely to be binge drinkers than those from major cities or regional areas (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2008). The percentage of Australians who reported consuming risky levels of alcohol has increased from 8% in 1995 to 13% in 2004-05 (Teesson et al., 2010). This demonstrates that there has been an increase in the percentage of binge drinking over time, or ...

Alcoholic beverages have been around for more than 8000 years and despite the World Health Organisation claiming that the global consumption of alcohol has remained roughly the same since 1990, the main groups who do drink are now drinking a lot more heavily. This is shown in the article, Alcohol pricing: Mulled Whines et al. (2013) where it explains how binge drinking was once a rarity in Spain as alcoholic beverages were only consumed mildly with food. However, nowadays during the night at the Plaza de Espana in central Madrid it is now flocked with many groups of people who have been drinking on a binge which results to vomiting and mess on the streets. Pitts (2010) explains that the social benefits associated with drinking alcoholic beverages include that it ‘produces a sense of relaxation, wellbeing and even euphoria in individuals, which enhances their enjoyment of whatever activity they are participating in’, also it can help ease stress and make you more confident in your actions. However, alcohol also has social costs as The Economist et al. (2013)
With the chaotic agendas of today’s companies, the competition and willingness to take risks to new levels, The alcoholic industry is no exception. Many skills are required to even just exist in one segment of the industry, and even though competition on their level is fierce, competition in other levels of alcohol knocks on their door.
Alcohol has been around since the earliest depths of recorded history. Man has enjoyed its drunken allure since the age of our ancestors. However, they have enjoyed it a little too much. The overconsumption of alcohol by man alike has caused a great deal of grief for them. The abuse of alcohol impairs one’s judgment and can even lead to the death of the drinker. Especially in America. The overconsumption and abuse of the drinking of alcohol has become a serious and dangerous issue in America, and it not only endangers the consumer but the people around and involved with the consumer as well. Laws concerning the consumption of alcohol in America need to be better enforced by the legal authorities due to the negative consequential effects caused by the illegal alcohol consumption.
When going to a bar to have drinks your go voluntarily you take you own decision on and action on whether your drink. The employees that are in charge of serving alcohol are doing their job which is selling product and making drinks. The Dram shop liability laws makes accountable alcohol servers responsible for harm that drunk or underage people cause to other people or themselves. Well I personally believe servers should not be accountable le of other drunk people that cant drinking with out loosing their actions. First reason is , the servers never invited them to get drunk didn’t obligated the intoxicators to drink the servers just serve the drink. They don’t see if you drunk folks came with someone or came alone so, why make them accountable
In today’s materialistic society, there are a number of problems causing moral degradation or breakdown of societies. Alcohol abuse in one of them and it has become a severe problem for modern societies. Alcohol is the most widely used drug in the world and now it is a national epidemic. Alcohol abuse has adverse social and economic effects on the individual drinker, the drinker’s immediate environment and society as a whole. According to a new research, Up to 15 people die and more than 430 are being admitted to hospital every day in Australia because of alcohol related illness. Government is trying to prevent alcohol abuse by imposing various measures and considers raising of tax on alcohol the most effective way to reduce alcohol abuse as it will reduce affordability.
Alcohol consumption is an issue within Australian society, with youth binge drinking over the past decade creating economic costs. The government has implemented measures to address this issue. One measure is the alcopops tax, which has experienced moderate success but also limitations. Alternative measures may more effectively reduce youth alcohol consumption, such as setting a floor price and increasing the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA). Overall, the government can use various policies to reduce youth binge drinking.
Alcohol consumption is a ubiquitous staple at almost every social gathering. This centuries old tradition has become a social normality, despite numerous public health implications of moderate and heavy alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption rates across Canada are often stated alongside illicit drug use rates, yet alcohol does not suffer from the same social stigma. Conversely to illegal drugs, which are used in private settings and generally not discussed in public, alcohol is celebrated, consumed in public places, and thought of not as a problem, but as a luxury. Alcohol consumption may be one of the biggest public health concerns in Canada, due to the unrelenting prevalence and its ability to negatively affect multiple facets of individuals’ lives. There have been many attempts at reducing alcohol consumption, but per capita alcohol consumption remains at 65% higher than the global average (1). This suggests a need for a new, more effective and multifaceted, intervention program.

The history of alcohol dates back to South Africa`s history of Apartheid. In this era, the use of alcohol did not occur on a regular basis, but rather at communal and ceremonial functions (Clarke, 1999). Alcohol could not be easily accessed, especially by the black population. After the colonization of the British, laws were passed making it illegal for the black population to purchase, produce or consume liquor. (Clarke, 1999) It was only after 1962, when the production and consummation was made legal for all, did the rates of alcohol use and abuse increase (Clarke, 1999).This then manifested into the current rates of alcohol abuse, particularly exasperated through the increase of alcohol advertisements. Alcohol advertisements are currently regulated by the liquor Act 59 of 23, which is aimed at highlighting the guidelines of advertising in South Africa.
