DRINKING: WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
How Many Alcoholics Are In The U. S.?
. 1052
By WILLIAM A. DeWITT THE TAB for alcoholie beverages in America is about nine billion dollars a year,
But this represents. a v in drinking taste. capita consumption .of hard liquor fell off nearly, K 50 per
cent. But beer drinking rose from 1.58 gallons per head, angually, to 18.56. There are an estimated 60 million drinkers in the. United ° States, of which only one in 15—or 4 million—is even 'susspected’ of alcoholism, What is alcoholism? Defining it is a favorite form of mental exercise with psychiatrists. » " o ALTHOUGH not a psychia-* trist, Dr. James G. Smith of New York University's Bellevue Medical Center has flexed his intellectual muscles and come up with this: “Alcoholism is drinking to such a degree that it interferes with one’s financial, social and health status.” That covers a good deal of ground. But it's in substantial agreement with many psychiatrists, including Dr, Oskar Diethelm, Psychiatrist-in-Chief of the New York Hospital and Professor at Cornell Medical College. He expands it thus: “A person may be considered as suffering from alcoholism if he has hecome dependent on the use of alcohol to a degree which interferes with his success in life, and if: he is unable to recognize this fact or to abstain from the use of alcoholic beverages in an amount jurious to im.’

TO THIS Dr. C. H. Durfee has an addendum published in the Rhode Island Medical Journal: “Alcohol, a drug nof physiologically addictive, fnay become the object of irresistible craving as a result of routine drinking in a normal. raindivituall n But then we have Dr. R.
Young: “Basically, there is no difference between the opium
group addicts and the alcoholic addict.” And he goes on to say that every alcoholic has a psychiatric problem. The aims and general methods of Alcoholics Anonymous have been thoroughly publicized, need no formal description here. What is less familiar than the AA's famous Twelve Steps is the extension of AA's aims and boundaries. No longer ‘is it necessary for a candidate to have hit bottom before becoming eligible. The preference now is to catch the disease early, as with cancer or tuberculosis, and avoid the misery of the Sescending yeass.

symptom of some underlying condition which must be un-
covered’ before treatment can be started.” . “Qne fact,” he goes on, “sup-
ports the conclusion that alcoholism is a symptom which has become a disease. Experience repeatedly proves that no amount of probing or unraveling allows an. alcoholic to return to normal drinking.” The problem of defining alcholism is chiefly one of setting a boundary between safe drinking and other kinds of drinking.
IT MIGHT seem more sensible first to outline the area of unsafe drinking, which could then be posted with big red danger signs. Most of the experts do take this approach. But indications are that the topography of problem drinking

YOUR
FLOWERS
AND WHAT THEY MEAN
The flowers you contribute for a memorial "say the things" that can't be said in any other way. They are your personal expression of love and sympathy —your share in the creation of a memorial of
genuine beauty.
Thus, each floral gift delivered to Shirley Brothers is handled with considerate care. A record is kept of all flowers received; and, so you may reassure yourself that your flowers are properly arranged, cards are not removed from bouquets until shortly
before services begin.
This careful handling of your floral gifts is part of the "Shirley way" of doing things — part of the
close attention to the "little"
details that combine
to make "truly a remembered service."
