R ‘'SS' FRI.-SAT. MIDNIGHT Speaker: area drinking a problem By ERIN BECKERS Battalion Reporter Over four million gallons of beer were consumed last year in Brazos Valley, causing economic and social costs for the community of over $27 million, said a spokesman for the Texas Commission on Alcoholism Thursday night. Ken E. Beahan, Area IV Coor dinator for the Commission, quoted those statistics from a 1978 survey in a speech for the third Regional Insti tute of Alcohol Abuse and Al coholism. “Hopefully, in the years ahead we will play a part in alleviating the ad verse effects of alcohol abuse and al coholism in our community,” Be ahan said. Speakers sponsored by the Insti tute will discuss the problem today. “For countless centuries, man has punished, pampered and protected alcoholics and even now we are just beginning to see alcoholism as a health problem,” he said to the au dience of about 20 people. “Alcoholism must be placed in perspective with other humdn prob lems,” he said. “Alcoholism needs to be placed as effectively as other health problems.” Beahan said alcoholism must be regarded as a respected human problem in both health and social facets. “There are many different types of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, ” he said. There is no such thing as “the” alcoholic, but rather various groups of alcohol “persons.” “These groups are different enough that they cannot be de scribed as alcoholics,” he said. “Within each group there are norms and personal variances.” Beahan said a sociological defini tion of an alcoholic is a person who uses alcohol in such a way “that it contributes directly to repeated, unplanned and unsought difficulty: difficulties to himself or others.” Beahan identifies alcoholics by three common characteristics. First they must be people, he said. It is a simple, but often over looked factor in its importance in dealing with the problem. Second, they drink alcohol, mostly to excess; and last, they have suffered some ill effects on a continuing basis. Alcoholics usually start J for the same reason as other to socialize, Beahan said, H reason for drinking changs socializing to producing drinker becomes more ag and independent,” he said Beahan, who has hadti from alcoholism for the; years, is also the former ei director of the Texas Commii Alcoholism.
