		<description>This is great information!  It is important to acknowledge that many alcoholics or excessive drinkers are members of society - and seen as productive members at that.  Alcoholism is a major problem and has been verified to be a serious medical condition.  It is quite hard for alcoholics to seek treatment as they are usually not willing to acknowledge they have a problem.  In order for one to accept and fully embrace treatment, the sufferer must first accept that they are at high risk and have a serious problem and then be open to getting help.  

Alcoholism is a major problem, and the more education and information available, the higher the likely of helping those a greatest risk.</description>
