Well the OP asks a good question because alcohol abuse is very very widespread and it IS a major problem.Yet there is no certainty that it WILL result in any of the things on that list. The probability of any of the things on that list for most drinkers is probably never any higher than 30% (just a guess). I think it would have been better to show how appalled we should feel that 30% of heavy drinkers experience cirrhosis of the liver...Isnt it true that people who drink in the household with their parents from a young age learn to drink without abuse? Isn't the 9 year old in Italy who drinks one small glass of wine at a meal less likely to become an alcoholic than the 14 year old in the US who steals from her dad's liquor cabinet and drinks behind the shed with her friends?
