Implication includes the following: A wealthy alumna may offer scholarships on the condition that only African-American students get admission: a faculty member accused of sexually harassing a student. A student may want his religious organization or, on the other hand, a member of the faculty in the university or college may challenge promotional procedures or other activities (Kaplin & Lee, 2011)
About 1700 college students aged an estimate between 18-24-year die unintentionally because of alcohol and drug abuse. Most of these deaths are a result of motor vehicle accidents or injuries from assault (O'Malley & Johnston, 2002)
The DARE officials have found it very difficult to accept that the program was not effective, however this is true, something that has delayed the change of the curricular. Much of this is attributed to the loss aversion strategies (Ennett S.T., et al
America currently spends five times more money in jailing drug dealers than it did towards the end of the 20th century. It is pointless taking low-ranking street corner dealers to prison where they are going to spend three years and get released (Fareed Zakaria, 2012)
Secondly, when the condition appears, it persists involuntarily. Alcoholics crave for alcohol irresistibly and their drinking habit is uncontrollable once it has begun (Fingarette, 1990)
The program has been there for quite sometime considering that it was developed in 1983 when drug use rates among the school going children kept increasing. At its formative stage, its curricula basically reviewed existing prevention program especially the Project SMART (Jarlais, Sloboda, Friedman, Tempalski, McKnight & Braine, 2006)
Any legislation that prohibits advertisement of prescription drugs directly to consumers violates the citizens' constitutional rights. By the virtue of the fact that doctors, hospitals, and healthcare insurance providers are allowed to advertise their services directly to the consumers of their services, it therefore follows that drug companies be allowed to advertise their brands directly to the consumers (The People's Pharmacy, 2013)
Health Science in Regards to Drugs and Alcohol Legalization of drugs When Colorado and Washington legalized the use of marijuana for recreational purposes, issues related to legalization of all drugs became subject of public debate. Those who voted for legalization of Marijuana in these two states argued that legalization of these drugs would generate revenue, deter black market activities, and check against lose of tax resources used by law enforcement agencies (Will, 2012)
The report points out that this media is no longer just in the form of television or radio but also cell phones and the internet ("The Impact of Alcohol Advertising"). The constant advertisement causes young people to desire alcohol at increasingly younger ages (Jefferis, 2005)
In addition the research found that "much of this excess exposure of youth to alcohol advertising in the United States could be eliminated if alcohol companies would adopt a threshold of 15% (roughly the proportion of 12-20 years-old in the population 12 and above) as the maximum youth audience composition for their advertising. Although adoption of such a threshold would still leave much youth exposure to alcohol marketing in such "unmeasured" activities as sponsorships, on-premise promotions and campus marketing, it would assist alcohol companies in reaching their intended audiences more efficiently while reducing overall youth exposure to their advertising (Jernigan et al
Basically the researcher examines the ways in which local advertising makes a difference in reported exposure that outpace the same impact of national advertisements in various markets. Then "If the national advertisements already reach some critical threshold of effects, then the amount of advertisements in each market may not contribute much to either self-reported exposure or to alcohol use (Martin et al
There are many questions surrounding the reasons why people drink excessively. The abuse of alcohol is particularly disturbing amongst young people who drink illegally (McClure, 2006)
According to the report the adolescent brain is in the process of a great deal of growth as such young people are much more prone to being impulsive and have an increased sensitivity to reward and pleasure ("The Impact of Alcohol Advertising"). That is the idea of receiving a reward or pleasure from certain actions, outweighs the consequences that are likely to occur from these actions (Pechmann, 2005)
The purpose of this discussion is to critically evaluate any evidence that seems to indicate that alcohol advertising and promotion is a contributory factor in the initiation and maintenance of underage drinking. Advertisements and Underage Drinking Drinking amongst underaged people is problematic because of the severity of the consequences (Saffer & Dave, 2006)
When people think of biological factors for a disease, they often think of inherited factors. As with other types of addiction, genetics do play a strong role in alcohol abuse; "genetics account for about 50% of the likelihood that someone will develop an addiction" (Horvath et al

Long-term intake of more than 30 grams of absolute alcohol a day raises the risk of alcoholic liver disease or ALD. Liver disease is almost sure to develop from long-term consumption of more than 80 grams of absolute alcohol a day (Bruha et al
Phenobarbital is, however, most frequently used in this situation at 30mg, which is equivalent to 2 mg lorazepam, 25 mg chlodiazepoxide or 10 mg diazepam (Makdissi & Stewart). An alternative to benzodiazepines is pentoxifylline, as some suggest, as first-line treatment in a patient with severe alcoholic liver disease (Frazier, 2011)
Short and intermediate-acting benzodiazepines are safer for older patients and those with some hepatic problems (EASL). Nursing Care Strategies for the First 24 Hours Upon Admission A positive assessment of patients with unhealthy alcohol use satisfies the standard criteria for admission (Makdissi & Stewart, 2013)
