Alcohol is involved in more than 90% of college rapes.
75% of spousal assaults involve alcohol.
40% of criminals arrested were intoxicated during the
commission of the crime.
In 1996 almost a million and a half people were arrested for
drunk driving.
Alcohol is the most abused drug in America today,
and as the statistics grimly indicate, the abuse of alcohol can devastate the
abuser as well as the family and community surrounding the alcohol dependent
person.
Although alcohol is the most devastating drug on a national
scale, all drug abuse is harmful.
