Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by soccergirl: why do you think rates of alcoholism are the highest in countries like russia and eastern europe?

Best answer:

Answer by Marilyn T
My family is from eastern Europe and my husbands too.
I live in Hungary part time and yes, there seems to be many people that over drink there.
Actually the young love of my husbands life drank herself to death after he left the country and she married someone she didn’t really love that much. She was unhappy and drank herself to an early grave in her 30’s.
Many of our relatives died from some drinking problems.
I think one issue for over drinking is they seemed to always be repressed either by the government or by lack of opportunities. Many people must live in crowded conditions with extented family members because rents are high. Being overcrowded is stressful and drinking is an escape.
Long hours of working without seeing an end in sight isn’t condusive for a happy life.

Question by Sandi: Why are many policemen unfaithful to their women? Why do they have high divorce & alcoholism rates?

Best answer:

Answer by Marko
I doubt it’s them being unfaithful, and more like having a very stressful work environment. The stress causes them to drink and the long hours causes them to divorce. But this is all just conjecture.

Answer by lil sammy
IMO it’s because there is less of a stigma on consumption of alcohol in some countries, therefore the line that determines who is an alcoholic is a bit higher.
For example, in the US, a person can be determined to be a an alcoholic if they have a drink daily or more that 20 a week. In other countries, this is MUCH higher.
