Alcohol treatment sought by women between 4 to 5 years earlier than men

logo

Epidemiological studies have revealed that historical differences between men and women in substance use – such as lifetime dependence rates, and quantities of alcohol consumed – have narrowed in recent decades. However, recent examination of gender differences in drinking patterns and rapidity of disease progression in women, generally referred to as “telescoping,” among treatment-seekers is largely lacking. Results from a new study of these gender differences in a sample of individuals seeking treatment for a substance use disorder are only partially supportive of gender-contingent telescoping.

Childhood economic status affects substance use among young adults

Teenage hands holding cigarette

Children who grow up in poverty are more likely than wealthier children to smoke cigarettes, but they are less likely to binge drink and are no more prone to use marijuana, according to researchers at Duke Medicine.

The findings, appearing July 30, 2013, in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology, debunk common assumptions about who abuses substances, and provide a basis for better approaches to prevent young people from falling into drug and alcohol addiction.

Dangerous viral trend threatens teens: Smoking alcohol

tdy_rossen_alcohol_130625.vembedmed

It’s the dangerous new way teens are getting drunk — and it’s going viral. Now doctors say it could be deadly.

It’s called “smoking alcohol.” You don’t drink the booze, you inhale it. Sounds bizarre, but those vapors give you an instant high.

Here’s the problem: Doctors say it’s incredibly dangerous and can be extremely addictive. Pure alcohol shooting into your brain. Doctors are issuing an urgent warning: Don’t try this at home.

 

Video: If you’ve never heard of “smoking alcohol,” chances are your teenager has; YouTube videos show how to vaporize alcohol and inhale the fumes in order to get drunk. NBC’s Jeff Rossen investigates.

Celebrities Who Don’t Drink: Sober Stars

“I had been to rehab several times and reached a point where I was taking more of what I was doing in hopes that I wouldn’t wake up. And when I got to that point, the next morning Iwoke up and I was like, ‘I just prayed for death. What the hell is wrong with me?’” she told Anderson Cooper, on how she hit rock bottom and finally got sober.

Cooper became sober at 29 after purposefully bashing his head into a concrete floor at a party. “I don’t drink or do drugs anymore,” he told People. “Being sober helps a great deal … I remember looking at my life, my apartment, my dogs [when I was still using], and I thought, ‘What’s happening?’”

“Underage Drinking In The Home”

While many parents may think that allowing their teens and their teens’ friends to drink at home under adult supervision keeps kids safe and leads to healthier attitudes about drinking, the truth is that there are serious negative consequences for both parents and teens.

As prom and graduation season gets underway, we have just released a new, interactive web resource “Underage Drinking In The Home” found at http://socialhost.drugfree.org/, for parents and caregivers to help inform them about their legal liabilities if they serve alcohol to teens. Check out the new resource and tell us what you think?
