According to Ignativicius & Workman (2010) "Alcoholism (alcohol dependence
sydnrome) is a disease wherein the person has a strong need of compulsion to
consume alcohol, is unable to quit once he or she begins drinking, experiences a
physical dependence, and has a need to increase the amount of alcohol to get "h
(high tolerance). Physical dependence occurs when the person experiences
withdrawal after alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking" (p. 99).
In Suffolk County, 6.5% of females and 9.0% of males partake in heavy drinking, w
the national rank identified as 2123 and 1031 respectively. 13.9% of females and
27.0% of males partake in binge drinking, with the national rank identified as 228
and 2069 respectively (health.org, 2015).
Alcohol played a significant role in motor vehicle accidents in New York and othe

crashes nationally and caused 10,265 fatalities. In New York, drunk driving cause
311 fatalities or 28 percent of all traffic deaths in the state of NY (New York Moto
