Alcoholism does not discriminate. It doesn’t know if you should be sober to drive, ti doesn’t know if the next drink is going to kill you and it doesn’t know if your career is on the line if you drink. However, that is exactly what happens to people who are in the military and binge drink. According to a study conducted by the Center For Disease Control and Prevention, 43% of active-duty military personnel reported past-month binge drinking.
Binge drinking is most common amongst younger people, ages 18 – 24. This indicates that alcoholism is becoming more and more common among the younger generation. The only real way to handle an alcohol addiction is to enroll in a drug and alcohol rehab.
