The push for zero tolerance laws,
the tightening of standards for determining legal intoxication, and the growing
influence of national groups concerned with alcohol misuse show that our
society is more sensitive than ever to the growing misuse of alcohol.
People are concerned about the
consequences of drunk driving, alcohol-related crime, and lowered job
productivity. National data indicate
that per capital alcohol consumption has gradually dropped in the United States
since the early 1980s. alcohol use
remains the preferred form of drug use for most adults (including college
students), but as a society, we are increasingly uncomfortable with the ease
with which alcohol can be misused.
