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. This year’sh
was organized by local reside
is headed by Debbie
gional alcoholism serviu
veloper.

A majority of Texas A&M Univer
sity students surveyed prefer 24-
hour weekend visitation in resi
dence halls, according to a survey
taken in September by the Resi
dence Hall Association and student
government.
Sixty-four percent of the 1,040
students surveyed said they pre
ferred the 24-hour visitation on
weekends.
“I will not endorse 24-hour visita
tion,” Ron Blatchley, acting director
for student affairs said. His main
concern is security problems such a
policy would present.
