“Rethinking
Drinking”
Do you enjoy a drink now and then?
Many of us do, often when socializing with friends and family. Drinking
can be beneficial or harmful, depending on your age and health status,
and, of course, how much you drink.
The Washtenaw Alcohol Reduction
Project (WARP) has launched a Rethinking Drinking campaign to address
the high rates of adult binge drinking throughout Washtenaw County.
Based on the research available through the Washtenaw Community Health
Organization and the Michigan State Police it became apparent that heavy
alcohol consumption was a major contributor to residents’ health problems,
violent crime and motor vehicle crashes.
For anyone who drinks, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
(NIAAA) offers valuable, research-based information. What do you think
about taking a look at your drinking habits and how they may affect your
health? Rethinking Drinking can help you get started. “Rethinking
