A study in Midwestern states found that 46% of ninth graders who reported drinking alcohol in the previous month said they obtained the alcohol from a person aged 21 or older.
According to a current report from the U.S. Task Force on Community Preventive Services, there is little evidence that designated programs actually reduce the rate of drunk driving and alcohol-related crashes, as few designated drivers actually completely abstain from drinking. The report concluded that in a great many instances, the least-intoxicated person is chosen to be the driver, which defeats the purpose of the program.
In 2007, an estimated 12 percent of persons aged 12 or older drove under the influence of alcohol at least once in the past year; this percentage has dropped slightly since 2002, when it was 12.8 percent.
The only way for an individual with an alcoholism problem can achieve a state of long term abstinence, is to face the underlying problems that initially led to the alcohol abuse; these problems can be from an inability to manage stress effectively, unresolved trauma from childhood, depression, anxiety or any number of personal difficulties.
