BREAKING THE HABIT: ALCOHOL: (4 Programs) DVD
We drink to celebrate, to socialize, to come down from the pressures of the day... The line beyond which a can of beer or a glass of wine will cause irreversible damage to the liver and other systems of the body is much closer than so-called "social" drinkers imagine. These programs explain how alcohol affects the body, how much alcohol can be safely consumed during what period of time, what alcoholism is, and how the habit can be broken.
There are four 26-minute programs in this series:
THE DRUG WE DRINK
This program explains why people drink, physiologically as well as sociologically; explains the physiology of alcoholism; illustrates very graphically how alcohol affects the liver; and suggests guidelines for maximum alcohol consumption.
THIRSTY WORK
Alcoholism is a primary cause of days lost at work, of inefficiency, carelessness, and accidents. This program shows a model corporate program designed to teach employees the guidelines for safe drinking and to offer those in need of treatment a way to seek it without endangering their employment.
A PLACE TO LIVE
This program shows how a group of recovering alcoholics are coming to terms with those elements in their environment, their personalities, and their physiological makeup that caused them to become alcoholics, and the steps they are learning to take to rejoin society.
FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES
Alcohol consumption is up, and the age at which youngsters begin to drink keeps falling. This program covers the problem of teaching young people to drink, if at all, in moderation and to make them understand where the limits are and how quickly a person loses control once that limit is exceeded.
