 (EMAILWIRE.COM, February 25, 2012 ) Washington, DC -- The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued what some consider to be controversial initiatives for reducing alcohol consumption worldwide.
Among those initiatives are increasing the cost of alcohol, stricter regulation on marketing of alcohol and setting lower blood-alcohol limits for driving.
Their recommendations are based on this fact: alcohol kills more than 2.5 million people every year, more than some of the leading diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV, and malaria. That figure is disconcerting for many within the addiction field.
“The fact is, the number of alcohol related deaths can be reduced,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “Whether it’s through legislation or through increased community-based education, individuals can ban together and win this war on alcohol abuse and alcohol related deaths.”
According to WHO, Americans consume 31 glasses of wine, on average, per year. Compared to other countries, that number doesnÂ’t even rank America in the top 50 of countries in alcohol consumption. Interestingly, as well as disturbingly, thirty-one percent of all deaths of individuals aged 15 to 29 were alcohol related.
