Drinkers dealing with alcohol abuse effects can see both physical and psychological issues. Keep in mind, even though the drinker is directly affected, those around him or her will deal with the issue as well.
A breathalyzer field test is commonly used to measure blood alcohol content for drivers; most states have a legal limit of between 0.08 and 0.10.
The type of treatment one receives for their alcohol dependence problems depends on the severity of their alcohol problem and the resources that are available in their community. Treatment may include detoxification (the process of safely getting alcohol out of your system); taking doctor-prescribed medications, such as disulfiram (Antabuse�') or naltrexone (ReVia), to help prevent a return (or relapse) to drinking once drinking has stopped; and individual and/or group counseling.
As of 1998, 19 states require the posting of alcohol health warning signs where alcoholic beverages are sold.
