Alcohol Ads Reaching Too Many Young People in TV Markets across the United States
12/2/2013
In twenty-five of the largest television markets in the U.S., almost 1 in 4 alcohol advertisements on a sample of national TV programs most popular with youth exceeded the alcohol industry’s voluntary standards, according to researchers from the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

To Kill a Mockingbird--Performance
The Miracle Center invites you to a live performance of "To Kill A Mockingbird." For this educational student production, many teens in our arts program have assembled with some adult guest performers under the direction of our new Artistic Director, Diane Fisher-Simmons. The show's script, based on the Pulitzer prize winning book by Harper Lee, still reminds us today that racism and judgment without "walking around in someone else's skin" is as wrong today as it was in 1935, Maycomb, Alabama - which is the show's setting. Don't miss this childhood journey which leads us to a court room battle where standing for what is right, win or lose, still matters.

A message from Alcohol Justice The Industry Watchdog
Alcohol consumption affects the health and well being of people in the United States in many negative ways: drunk driving, violent crime, spousal and child abuse, and diseases such as liver cirrhosis and cancer.
Though these problems often result from underage drinking, binge drinking, and alcoholism, even moderate alcohol consumption can contribute to health problems, especially various forms of cancer.
If consumers knew the nutritional value of the alcohol they are about to consume, they might make better choices and help reduce the risks of consumption.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the authority and is about to finalize a new rule on national nutrition labeling standards for restaurant menus that should include alcohol. At the moment it does not.
Let's tell President Obama that considering all the health and societal harms associated with alcohol consumption, it's time to direct his administration to include alcohol in the final restaurant labeling rule to best inform consumers so they can make healthier choices.

The Economic Cost of Excessive Alcohol Consumption
In the United States annually, excessive alcohol consumption accounts for an average of 79,000 deaths and 2.3 million years of potential life lost, making it the third-leading preventable cause of death in the country. This serious public health problem carries a heavy economic burden and causes a number of adverse health and social consequences, including premature death, increases in disease and injury, property damage from fire and motor vehicle crashes, alcohol-related crime, and lost productivity.
In 1998, researchers estimated that excessive alcohol consumption cost the United States $184.6 billion each year. According to a recent study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the cost of excessive alcohol consumption grew to 223.5 billion in 2006, with binge drinking accounting for over 75% of the total economic cost of excessive drinking.
What did they do?
Researchers Ellen E. Bouchery, Henrick J. Harwood, Jeffery J. Sacks, Carol J. Simon, and Robert D. Brewer followed the United States Public Health Service Guidelines to calculate the economic cost of excessive alcohol consumption in 2006. This method approximates the amount of direct and indirect national costs for health care, crime, mortality, morbidity-related productivity, and other expenses that can be associated with a specific behavior or health problem. Since this method does not include costs related to pain and suffering, researchers believe the estimates may be significantly lower than they would be if these intangible costs were taken into consideration.
To estimate the economic costs of a selection of impacts and consequences related to excessive alcohol consumption, researchers gathered information from a variety of effective and consistent national databases. Data included the costs of health care, productivity losses, property damage due to crimes, motor vehicle crashes and fire dam- age, the criminal justice system, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)-related special education, and numerous other consequences.
After identifying the total costs, they explored what percentage of these costs could be attributed to particular alcohol consumption behaviors, such as binge drinking, underage drinking, and drinking while pregnant. In addition, they identified the most costly alcohol-attributable crimes, calculated the average economic cost for each alcohol drink consumed, and determined who in society bears the most cost as it relates to excessive drinking.
What did they find?
In 2006, the estimated total economic cost of excessive alcohol consumption in the United States amounted to $223.5 billion or $1.90 per drink, which equals about $746 for each man, woman, and child on a per capita basis. Of the $223.5 billion, $161.3 billion (72.3%) represent costs from lost productivity. Of this $161.3 billion, the two greatest losses came from impaired productivity at work (45.9%) and lost productivity due to the 83,180 alcohol-related deaths (40.3%).
Within the $24.6 billion (11.0%) estimate due to increased healthcare costs, the largest expenditures came from specialty treatment for alcohol abuse and dependence (43.4%) and hospitalizations from excessive drinking medical conditions (20.8%). The biggest cost from other effects comes from criminal justice system costs, totaling $21 billion, due to crimes that are not considered mainly alcohol-attributable, such as assault versus drinking and driving. The cost of motor vehicle crashes also accounted for a significant percentage of the total cost related to other effects ($14 billion in total).
Of the total economic costs of excessive drinking, binge drinking amounts to $170.7 billion (76.4%), underage drinking equals $27.0 billion (12.1%), drinking while pregnant represents $5.2 billion, or 2.3% (mostly related to FAS), and the costs of crime come to $73.3 billion (9.2%). The federal, state, and local government bear these economic costs ($94.2 billion) along with excessive drinkers and their families ($92.9 billion), with the government bearing most of the costs for healthcare expenditures and excessive drinkers and their families covering productivity losses.

What Coalitions Can Do
- Implement effective interventions In order to reduce excessive alcohol consumption, coalitions need to ensure they are combining policies with interventions targeting individual behaviors. Coalitions should implement a comprehensive set of interventions addressing the seven behavior change strategies, such as increasing alcohol excise taxes, limiting alcohol outlet density, enforcing the minimum legal drinking age, screening and counseling for alcohol misuse, and sobriety checkpoints for alcohol-impaired driving.
- Target specific drinking patterns and risk groups According to the research, binge drinking accounted for almost three- quarters of the economic costs. Coalitions should continuously keep a current pulse on their local data and what it tells them about the specific groups in their community engaging in excessive drinking and the associated behaviors and costs to the community. With this information, as well as information on root causes and local conditions associated with the behaviors, coalitions can develop an effective and efficient strategic plan of action.
- Demonstrate to policymakers the economic costs to the community To gain support from policymakers for environmental policies that fit your local conditions, coalitions will need to demonstrate the economic burden of excessive alcohol drinking on their community. Coalitions should adapt the data presented in this article to their own community. For instance, one can easily figure the total economic cost by multiplying the population of a community by the $746 of excessive alcohol consumption per capita basis for every man, woman, and child.

NIH STUDY FINDS DOCTORS MISS MANY ALCOHOL SCREENING OPPORTUNITIES
Physicians often fail to counsel their young adult patients about excessive alcohol use, according to a study led by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health.
NIAAA guidelines for low risk drinking call for men to drink no more than four drinks in a day and no more than 14 drinks per week. For women, the guidelines are three or fewer drinks per day and no more than seven drinks per week. Previous studies have shown that screening and brief interventions by health care providers -- asking patients about alcohol use and advising them to reduce risky drinking -- can promote significant, lasting reductions in drinking levels and alcohol-related problems. In addition to NIAAA, professional groups such as the American Medical Association and the American Society of Addiction Medicine, as well as the U.S Preventive Services Task Force, recommend routine screening for alcohol misuse in primary care and brief interventions for individuals who screen positive.
In the current study, Ralph W. Hingson, Sc.D., director of NIAAA's division of epidemiology and prevention research, and colleagues at Boston University School of Public Health and Boston Medical Center conducted a random survey of more than 4,000 people in the United States between the ages of 18 and 39. The researchers asked survey participants about their drinking habits and whether they had been seen by a doctor during the past year. Those who had seen a doctor were asked additional questions to determine whether the doctor had assessed their alcohol use and advised them about safe drinking practices during the visit. The researchers report that 16 percent of those surveyed were non-drinkers, 24 percent drank at or below daily or weekly limits, 47 percent exceeded daily or weekly limits, and 13 percent exceeded both. The findings are online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
"Two-thirds of the people we surveyed had been seen by a doctor in the past year," says Dr. Hingson. "However, of individuals whose drinking exceeded NIAAA guidelines, only 49 percent recalled being asked about their drinking, and only 14 percent were counseled about it. Young adults between ages 18 and 25 were the most likely to report drinking in excess of NIAAA guidelines, and only 34 percent of them were asked about drinking by their doctors, compared with 54 percent of adults ages 26 to 39."
"In the United States, excessive alcohol use is the third leading preventable cause of death," says NIAAA Acting Director Kenneth Warren, Ph.D. "It's also a significant cause of disability for men and women in this country. The findings reported by Dr. Hingson and his colleagues indicate that we must redouble our efforts to help clinicians make alcohol screening and brief intervention a routine part of patient care in the United States."
Dr. Warren adds that NIAAA's 'Helping Patients Who Drink Too Much: A Clinician's Guide, (attached) available at the NIAAA website, provides a research-based, simplified approach to alcohol screening and brief intervention for both primary care and mental health clinicians.
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health, is the primary U.S. agency for conducting and supporting research on the causes, consequences, prevention, and treatment of alcohol abuse, alcoholism, and alcohol problems. NIAAA also disseminates research findings to general, professional, and academic audiences. Additional alcohol research information and publications are available at.

Please Advertise Responsibly
If you walk between Pulaski Avenue and Cicero (Chicago), you will notice that a great amount of alcohol advertisements will entertain the sight of more than one person. But if you stop to observe which of them is dedicated to prevent alcohol drinking among the youth, you will be surprised because there isn't any!
For this reason, the youth from Hermosa in partnership with the Healthy Hermosa Coalition, The Miracle Center, and Boys and Girls club, united and participated in a rally to create awareness among the community residents and elected officials, of the urgent need to restrict alcohol advertisements in Hermosa.
The irresponsible way that some liquor companies flood the Latino community with their ads was a focus of this rally. These ads include catchy Spanish phrases, colors related to sport teams or flags and even young people drinking at the beach or parties. All this done with the intention of catching the attention of Latino Youth.
So with the slogan "Please Advertise Responsibly" it is our HOPE to call the attention of community residents, elected officials, and media and change the way alcohol industries approach and does business in Latino communities!

Shoot To Win
Shoot to Win
Making the Right Choices
What a year this was!
Over the past year fewer HS students refused peer and family pressure to reach out for a drink at parties. (2010 IYS Data)
THEY CHOOSE TO STAY FRESH & STAY SOBER
According to the Illinois Youth Survey (IYS) data, the Hermosa Community HS students have started to think more about the consequences of drinking alcohol; they have become more informed, self-confident, and empowered. More students have decided to refuse peer and family pressure to reach for a drink at parties. HURRAY!
This means that the social norms campaign to prevent underage drinking that has been planned and implemented by the Healthy Hermosa Coalition and The Miracle Center is showing positive results, according to the Illinois Youth Survey.
However, changing social norms is a difficult and long-term process that can easily stagnate or be reversed. Therefore, despite some initial successess, we all still have to continue with our efforts and involvement in the campaign in order to build on the initial positive results.
Remember, in our unity there is power!

Supersized Alcopops are a Public Health Threat
Recently 17 state attorney general and the San Francisco city attorney warned Pabst Brewing Company that their product Colt 45 Blast met nation standard for binge drinking. They said "there was no way to drink it responsibly." But Blast is not the only high-alcohol, super sized alcopop. Products such as Tilt, Joose, Four Loko and Mike's Harder Lemonade alos pormote binge drinking with super sweet fruity beverages in 23.5 oz cans and up to 12% alcohol. The FTC can and should exercise its legal authority by finding the marketing and sale of these products to be inherently deceptive.
Drinking one can = 4.7 standard drinks!
It's time for the federal government to step in. Tell FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz and other FTC officials to help protect youth and adults alike from these dangerous "binge in a can" brands.
