Question by sergio: Can alcohol abuse be proved medically?
Im asking how can a doctor prove his patient has a history of alcohol abuse?

Let’s say an alcoholic applies for health care and denies previous alcohol abuse. Does he need prove that he’s not getting his drink on?

Or an alcoholic tries to obtain a medical marijuana card. Does the patient or doctor need medical prove that he’s a drunk?

Question by KnottedBrain: People who smoke cigarettes and abuse alcohol are mentally weak?
They suck on their cigarettes like a baby bottle when they’re stressed out. They’re mentally weak and are addicted to Nicotine. At the same time, they’re hurting other people with their second hand smoke. People who abuse alcohol are the same.

Since it is 8 pages, you will probably need a ton of information: http://www.niaaa.nih.gov/FAQs/General-English/default.htm that has a lot of information that you may want to use. You can also split the paper into different sections: alcohol abuse amongst teenagers; alcohol abuse on college campuses; alcohol abuse amongst adults; effects of alcohol abuse on the user; effects of alcohol abuse on the family and friends of the user; etc. I would start off the paper with a stunning statistic to grab the readers attention, such as: “Did you know that more than 50% of adult drinkers report that someone in their family has struggled with alcohol abuse?” (from http://www.gdcada.org/statistics/alcohol.htm). This website will also help you Im sure: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/alcohol.htm
