Alcohol Prohibition: Rights and Wrongs

The ‘rights’ and the ‘wrongs’ of the Alcohol Prohibition remains one of the highly debated and hotly contentious issue. Historically it has been a long battle between the alcohol prohibitionist who advocated alcohol drinks are extremely dangerous for human consumption as it causes very many serious alcohol(ism) problems. Therefore all of them should be banded or totally prohibited! On the other hand the alcohol drink proponent and its industry advocates argued for its regulated, moderate and safe use mainly for its very many beneficial aspect and most importantly prevent its illegitimate trading and use for the social safety and security point of view.

History has proven again and again the fact, that the alcohol drinking cause serious alcohol(ism)problems so enormous harm to the society (more than tobacco smoking when compared with its violent crime, delinquency, DUI etc.). Nevertheless imposing the ‘ Total Alcohol Prohibition’ makes the problems still more worse as it gives raises to alcohol bootlegging corruption, crime Mafia etc! Therefore it is been realized that the better way out of it is; first of all to educate people about the harms, dangerous involved in the alcohol consumption, so to teach them about its moderate or safe use. Together with bring in strict regulation over its quality, sales to ensure its moderate and safe use and to prevent its misuse! With such powerfully convincing argument most importantly to stamp-out the bootlegging crime Mafia and the official corruptions the alcohol prohibition repealed! So the proponents of the alcohol drink had won and alcohol prohibitionist had to accept the defeat in their main battle to bring in total alcohol prohibition.

Nevertheless they succeeded in bringing in some very stringent alcohol policy regulation such as imposing high alcohol taxes, increase of legal drinking age, restricting the time and places of alcohol consumption, imposing stringent DUI, BAC limits and its law enforcement with its sever punishment to the drink drivers etc. However the alcohol industry successfully adapted to these regulations mainly by exploiting a big “loophole” of their opponents own making!

The main reason or the big loophole that resulted in the alcohol Prohibitionists mission defeat or failure is their own dogmatic BELIEF, borrowed from the institutions alcoholism doctrines, which overzealously advocates; “all alcoholic beverages no matter the alcohol content in them high or low potentially cause alcohol(ism) problems”.

The alcohol industry exploited this claim to their full advantage. So now the opponents can not blame them for manufacturing and marketing the extremely dangerous high alcohol content beverage under the banner of Standard Alcohol Drinks (instead of the relatively safe low-alcohol drinks), as they themselves argue that the ‘low-alcohol drinks also potentially as well can cause alcohol(ism) problems!’ This allows the alcohol industry to manufacture and market those highly profitable, high alcohol content standard alcohol drinks, ironically at the expense of its own opponent’s claims which basically asserts that ‘there are not much safety difference between the high and the low-alcohol drinks so they are equally bad if not more’! I have explained it extensively in my paper “Alcohol Research Misconduct: Cause Drunk Driving”, published in the previous blog post.

Therefore the main reason for alcohol prohibitionist mission failure is their own making! Their own preposterous and dogmatic belief that advocates “in the matters of alcohol drinking there are not much safety difference between the high and the low-alcohol drink”. This stands quite CONTRARY to the available alcohol epidemiological research and its surveys, which basically points to the fact that almost all alcohol(ism) problems caused by the extremely dangerous high alcohol content drinks named as the “standard Alcohol Drinks (SADs)”, very popular among is the regular beer that contains around and above 4% alcohol, which can treacherously lead specially alcohol vulnerable gullible people inadvertently into excessive alcohol consumption thus into very many serious alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving/accidents! On the other hand there are absolutely no such research evidences to prove that the Low-Alcohol Drinks (LADs, preferably having around and below 2% alcohol) causing any of these alcohol(ism) problems most importantly the drunk driving/accidents.

Now this gives an opportunity to the alcohol prohibitionist to turn the table and beat the alcoholism causing, high profit making high-alcohol Standard Drinks proponents and the industry at their own game! They should rectify their historical mistake by wisely following the alcohol(ism) epidemiological research and the survey.

On its basis they should demand all the high alcohol drinks which comes under the banner of SADs should be banned and only the low alcohol content drinks should be allowed essentially for the moderate and safe public consumption! Or at least the former should be taxed two or three times higher than the latter. In other words one alcohol drink unit (around 10 to 13 grams of pure alcohol) in the SADs should be priced two or three times higher than the same amount of alcohol in the LADs having 2% v/v or less alcohol content in it.

The greatest advantage of exempting the LADs from the prohibition is that it will significantly prevent the reemergence of the Alcohol Bootlegging, its Corruption, Criminal Mafia, which is the main enemy of the alcohol prohibition all the while that is why historically they could not succeed! If the good quality LADs legally made available that too at its cost price, most of the alcohol drinkers would not go for the illegal (prohibited) high alcohol content SADs that would be highly expensive. After all they will have the opportunity of consuming same amount of alcohol if they like, still it would cost them far less! This will win more alcohol drinkers into its fold. Therefore it will have greater chances of succeeding than the total ban or prohibitions on all alcoholic beverage drinking!

Overall the prohibition on the SADs would act like a double edged sword. On the one hand it would cut off most of the profit of the alcohol industry because the main secret of their high profit lies in the high-alcohol content drinks that they sell. In general higher the alcohol content higher goes their profit margins and vice versa. On the other hand it will cut down the fertile grounds of the all alcohol drink total prohibition on which the alcohol bootlegging mafia mostly flourish!

Basically, the imposition Alcohol Prohibition or stringent restriction over the SADs would greatly help in eradicating most of the alcoholism problems including the DUI Drunk Driving/accidents mostly out from our society, which I believe is the main historic mission of alcohol prohibition. Therefore instead of treating all the alcohol drinks as equally bad the prohibitionist need to treat the high alcohol drinks as extremely dangerous nevertheless the low alcohol drinks greatly beneficial to their mission.

Standard Alcohol Drinks : Stipulations

Standard Alcohol Drinks* (SADs), which features at the forefront in the Government and all the other alcohol research, prevention, treatment institutions much publicized moderate (safe, low-risk, controlled) drinking promulgations indeed extremely dangerous for Human consumption.

My above contention based on the available alcohol(ism) epidemiological research and the survey reports which basically points to the fact that almost all the serious alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving accidents are caused by the high-alcohol content drinks (containing around and above 4% alcohol), which the authorities license under the banners or “Standard Alcohol Drinks” – On the other hand there absolutely no such evidence which proves that the low-alcohol (preferably around and below 2% alcohol)drinks causing any such alcohol(ism)problems.

Now the most important thing to know in this is; whenever the alcohol(ism) epidemiological research, surveys points to the alcohol(ism) problems it basically points to the SADs unless it specifically mentions the name of the “Low-Alcohol Drinks”. The SADs remains so ubiquitous in all alcohol(ism) problems research that any one questioning its evidence is like questioning the evidence of salt water in the sea water!

In this post I provide the authorities description or the stipulations of the Standard Alcohol Drinks here below.

*A Standard Alcohol Drink is calculated around 10grms to 13grams of pure alcohol in essence .

In general, its different levels of concentration in the drinks (V/V) categorized in distinct forms or kinds

makes it essentially different from each other.

In the US scale of measurement it comes to:

1.5 ounce of 80-prof distilled spirit (around 40% alcohol v/v)

one 5-ounce glass of wine (around 12% alcohol v/v)

one 12-ounce bottle of beer (around 5% alcohol v/v)

In the European scale of measurement it comes to:

A single shot of spirits or liquor of 40ml. (around 40% alcohol v/v).

A glass of wine or sherry of 140ml. (around 12% alcohol v/v).

One can of beer of 300ml. (around 5% alcohol v/v).

It makes the people to think that the standard beer that contains around 5% alcohol

is the lowest alcohol content in the alcohol drink standards!

Please note, there is the conspicuous absence of Low-alcohol Drinks

in there, which can make the people to think it is inferior or the down-standards.

Alcohol Drinking: Is It A Matter of Choice?

The “alcohol governing authorities” make the general public to believe that the alcohol drinkers have been given the “Choice” to select and consume any alcohol drinks made available in the market under their license! But at the same they seriously warn them not to “misuse” or indulge into high amount of (excessive) alcohol consumption that could lead them into serious alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving accidents! It would be their own fault if they fall into it so should take its full responsibility of its terrible consequences! They should not blame it on anyone else except on themselves!

However the basic facts about the alcohol drinks “choice” that the public doesn’t know is: all the alcohol epidemiological research and the surveys basically points to the fact that almost all those alcohol(ism) problems caused by the “High Alcohol” drinks having around and above 4% alcohol content, licensed by the authorities under the banner of “Standard Alcohol Drinks(SADs). On the other hand there are absolutely no such research evidences that fundamentally proves that the consumption of “Low-Alcohol Drinks ” (LADs) having alcohol around and below 2% causes any of these alcohol(ism)

However quite contrary the above research fact the alcohol authorities proclaim; “all alcohol drinks irrespective of the alcohol content in them high or low potentially cause the alcohol(ism) problems”. It is mainly due to their “alcohol research misconduct”, as they don’t distinguish or demarcate between the high-alcohol drinks that causes serious alcohol(ism) problems and the low-alcohol drinks which does not and callously license both those drinks under the guise of providing the public with so many alcohol drinks choices!

The alcohol authorities who put forward such arguments seems to completely forget the principles of safe drug policy. Alcohol is a statutory drug therefore its licensing and marketing (safety aspect) strictly monitored. If any drinks that contains this drug over a given safe limit that becomes dangerous for the public consumption then its license immediately needs to be revoked or cancelled!--- It is only below that dangerous levells when it is proven safe for the public consumption then only it should be licensed and made available for the general public consumption. Therefore any alcohol drinking factors or elements, which causes that causes the dangerous health (alcoholism) problems stand to be eliminated!

Indeed there are some very strict alcohol drinks regulations or the measures placed over the alcohol drinking . The most important among is its consumption strictly beeing prohibited to the alcohol vulnerable young or the underage people! Any adult who provide alcohol drinks to those young considered to be committing a serious offense specially when it involves drunk driving/accidents! The place and the times of its sales severely restricted, its consumption not allowed in the public places. Its drinking banned in all work places, academic institutions, etc. & etc.

Now comes the following question.--- If the alcohol is considered to be such a dangerous substance then why the alcohol authorities license it for the public consumption? Why not enforce total ban (prohibition) on all alcohol drinks so to eliminate the entire alcoholism problem?

There are two main reasons, which keeps away the authorities from imposing total alcohol prohibition! ---The first one is; majority of people who consume the alcohol drinks said to be consuming it safely or moderately without any such alcohol(ism) problems. Moreover the “Moderate” alcohol consumption provides great drinking pleasures considered as beneficial in many respects! The second main reason that is equally important is; it is a very well established fact that total prohibition or banning of all alcohol drinks gives raise to so many of the underground, illegal, alcohol smuggling trade, bootlegging criminal mafia, corruption etc., which are far worse than not having the alcohol prohibition!—---I have explained this matter extensively in my lattest blog post titled; “Alcohol prohibitions: Mission Failuer Reason”.

Therefore the authorities license the alcohol drinks and permit its consumption in order to prevent the criminalization of the total prohibition and on the other hand to allow the drink for a safe, moderate or healthy alcohol consumption. To ensure this it places heavy supervision, stringent rules and regulations to prevent its misuse or the alcohol(ism) problems!

So now comes the most critical question; if the main objective of licensing the alcohol drinks is to fulfill the above mentioned purpose then instead of licensing the extremly dangerous high-alcohol content drinks why not license only the low-alcohol drinks as it totally fullfills the main objective of the licensing the alcohol drinks. It specially provides maximum drink satisfaction pleasures with less alcohol consmption so mostly prevent the people inadvertantly consuming excessive alcohol consumptions and prevent them from falling into the alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving/accidents.

However the authorities still stick to their spurious, old irresponsible position and argue that “we or any one do not force or compel any people to consume the high-alcohol drinks. It is primarily the drinkers choice if they want them! ----It is not right to impose ban or severe restriction on the high-alcohol drinks just because it leads the vulnerable people into excessive alcohol consumption and into the alcoholism problems.--- The vulnerable people should not drink the alcohol at all if they have any problems with it! Or to drink whatever Low-alcohol drinks if they find it safe at all!

It is mainly to defend or justify their “Alcohol Research Misconduct” that authorities put forward such unscrupulous argument. ---- However it is the alcohol industry that stands to mostly gain from it! Higher the alcohol content in the drink higher price and the profit margin they get!

To attain their super high profit margins, the alcohol industry mainly focus on manufacturing the high alcohol content SADs. The highly promote it in their marketing campaign, advertisements, hoardings, banners, sponsorship movies etc., All of them glamorize the high alcohol content SADs. They attribute all the imaginary qualities to it that boosts about its high powers, super strength that can provide great pleasures and make its drinkers super heroes.

In front of this SADs grandeur the image of the LADs becomes dwarfed, insignificant, inferior below the alcohol drinking standards. It is been made to look like it is mainly for those who can not handle their alcohol drinks, for the weak and the frails! The stronger adults do not choose such insignificant LOW alcohol content drinks, which lower their status!

Among its target are those alcohol vulnerable, gullible drinkers who easily fall into such high-alcohol drinks marketing ploy! The advertizements of the SADs capitivates and beguiles them so much so that they readily make a choice of opting to it. But unfortunately the high alcohol content in the drink makes them to loose control over the drinking and consume alcohol in excessive amount get highly intoxicated , drunk that seriously impairs their judgment. In this state so many of become inadvertently suicidal and get behind the wheels and get into drunk driving. Here they not only endanger their life but most terribly endanger other innocent people to whom without warning they suddenly bring total devastations deaths on thousands of those innocent peoples life.

Now suddenly the law enforcement authorities wake up and heavily come upon the drunk drivers. ---But it is already too late for the innocent victims! The authorities invariably catch the drunk drivers punish them in whatever ways possible. See to it that they are beeing publically humiliated, branded as criminals, killers, murderers and sentenced to long years of imprisonment! Meanwhile the alcohol drink governing bosses who licenced and marketed such extreemly dangerous alcohol(ism) problem causing drinks, totally exempted from any of its blame on the basis that drinkers have been provided with the choice of many kinds of alcohol drinks. If any of its proved dangerous then they should be entirly blamed for it and should face all its consequences.

The high-alcohol content drinks in essence extremely dangerous DRUG far more deadlier than the illegal narcotic drugs especially when it comes to causing the fatal DUI accidents. Therefore the alcohol governing authorities have committed a serious criminal blunder in licensing the high (around and above 4%) alcohol for the general public consumption in the name of providing the drinker theirs alcohol drink choice.

Alcohol Bosses: The Real Culprits

My above allegation in the drunk driving issue is based on the available alcohol epidemiological research and its surveys. It basically points to the fact that almost all alcohol(ism) problems caused by those extremely dangerous high-alcohol (generally around and above 4% alcohol content)drinks, which the authorities license for the public consumption in the name of “Standard Alcohol Drinks” (SADs). Popular among is the regular beer that contains around and above 4% alcohol, which treacherously lead the vulnerable people into excessive alcohol consumptions and into serious alcohol(ism) problems including the most notorious drink driving/accidents.

However “people” in the forefront of the drunk driving prevention advocacy, totally ignore the basic fact or part of the alcohol drinks involved in it and put its “entire” blame only the drunk drivers! Of course they make some exemptions in the case of underage people falling into the drunk driving incidents. Considering their alcohol vulnerable, gullible young age, the parents or the party host or any one if they provide or in any way facilitated the underage drinking, stand accused as collaborators in its crime. In some other cases the bartenders or the owners of the pub made responsible for serving a person the alcohol drinks, if then he/she proceeds into the drunk driving specially in the case of its accidents.

It shows that the drunk driving can not be entirely blamed upon the drunk drivers alone. People who provide or facilitate those potentially drunk driving causing alcohol drinks also considered as responsible directly or indirectly playing a part in it. However when it comes to the Alcohol Drink Governing bosses those who license and market those drunk driving causing alcohol drinks for the public consumption totally exempted and exonerated from any of its responsibility or the blame!

In the list of “Alcohol Drink Governing Bosses”, I first name all the alcohol(ism) problems research, its policy making, and the licensing authorities responsible for allowing or sanctioning such extremely dangerous alcohol(ism) drunk driving causing drinks for the public consumption.

Thereafter comes the alcohol drink manufacturing marketing industry bosses. (despite their main role in supplying the drinks, I put them in the second place because without the alcohol authorities licensing, its manufacturing and marketing becomes illegal thus can not function as it is.) They in order to obtain their super high alcohol profit entice, bewitch the public into wanting to drink such extremely dangerous SADs by their deceiving, unscrupulous promotions campaigns! It promise to make them super heroes with its great pleasures that captivates the alcohol gullible people and prompts them into buying and consuming such a extremely dangerous high-alcohol content drinks.

Thirdly in this list I point to the Government officials to whom the alcohol drinks taxes are a great source of revenue income as their share in the alcohol drinks sales profit to aid the nations economy! Perhaps taxing heavily on those extremely dangerous alcohol drinks is a right thing to do under the circumstances. However at the same time they should equally share the responsibility and the liability to pay the compensation for the alcohol(ism) drunk driving victims!

The drunk driving prevention advocates who indoctrinate the public with their highly emotive, vindictive campaign that puts its entire blame on the drunk drivers. By doing so they very much serve the interest of the Alcohol Bosses! As it successfully hides or protects them from their misgivings or the “alcohol research misconduct” in this matters.

As long as those alcohol governing bosses license and market such extremely dangerous high alcohol drinks for the public consumption such tragic drunk driving accidents going to continue. The alcohol vulnerable gullible people who have unwittingly fall into the drunk driving made into the DUI scapegoats.

The drunk drivers branded as criminal or murders brought before the DUI law justice system and severely punished for the drunk driving/accidents whenever possible! However the real culprits hidden behind instigating it are the Alcohol Drink Governing Bosses. The drunk driving prevention advocates authorities remain totally silent about them. It makes them free and unrestrained to continue to cause their alcohol(ism) drinks problems that includes the drunk driving mayhem!

Why Driving With High BAC Is Wrong –

While Licensing of High-Alcohol Drinks Not?

Drunk Driving or Driving Under Influence (DUI) defined as having Blood Alcohol Count(BAC) over and above a given safe limit or levels. In the US having 0.08 BAC and above while driving is considered as a serious DUI offense whether it had caused accidents or not!

The BAC limit in driving and the DUI offense punishment over and above its limit, is mainly based on the alcohol epidemiological and particularly the drunk driving or DUI accidents research studies, which clearly points to the fact that people driving with the BAC above the given safe limit significantly increase their risk of getting into the accidents endangering their and the others life. The higher the drivers BAC the more the risk! On the other hand the comparative risk of the drivers getting into the accidents having the BAC levels below the given (0.08) level almost same as people driving with no BAC. Therefore it scientifically and legally cannot be considered as “dangerous” so an offense.

However when it comes to the licensing and marketing the high (around and above 4%) alcohol content drinks that causes almost all the alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving/accidents, the authorities seem to apply a very different set of logic or a double talk as they proclaim all “alcohol drinks irrespective of the levels of the alcohol content in them high or low potentially cause serious alcohol(ism) problems!”

The authorities above official position is quite contrary to the available alcohol epidemiological research surveys, which basically points to the fact that almost all the alcohol(ism) problems caused by the high-alcohol drinks having generally around and above 4% alcohol content. On the other hand there are no such evidence that the low alcohol drinks having the alcohol content preferably around and below 2% causing any such serious alcohol(ism) problems. Therefore the authorities above stand claiming all alcohol drinks potentially causing the alcohol(ism) problems is a blatant lie or a scientific fraud amounting to a serious misconduct on their part.

Apart from their claim that all (high or low) alcohol drinks potentially cause alcohol[ims] problems, another main reason why the authorities do not want to impose a safe limit on the alcohol drug content in the drinks, is that it will heavily slash-down the high profit of the alcohol industry, which mainly rely up on the high-alcohol (generally having around and above 4% alcohol content) drinks marketing to obtain their super high profit. Therefore its powerful industrial lobby would not allow the imposition of this safe alcohol content limits on the alcohol drinks to happen. They cleverly argue that, it is up to the people to drink it responsibly! Most people who drink alcohol do not fall into the alcohol(ism) problems* therefore if anyone finds it causing any problems then they should immediately stop the drinking of it thereafter!

(*Most people drunk [having above the 0.08 BAC] and drive also do not fall into any such accident problems, does it make drunk driving safe? Or do they have to get into the accidents to stop them from the drunk driving thereafter? Advising the people to consume high alcohol standard drinks responsibly so they do not fall into the alcohol(ism) problems is like telling the drunk drivers to drive responsibly so they do not fall into its accidents!)

However the authorities seem to conveniently forget that alcohol is a statutory drug. If its use causes any adverse harmful affect even in the minority of the people it’s licensing considered to be unlawful until the authorities make it certain that it is safe to drink! However in the case alcohol drink licensing and marketing all its safety precautions thrown out the window to appease the alcohol drink governing bosses. To enable the industry bosses to obtain their high profit and to collect huge alcohol tax revenues to the Government bosses and not to mention the large sums for the bosses working in the alcohol(ism) research (grants, consultant treatment fees etc) its prevention, treatment field.

The only people to loose in all this are the high-alcohol drink vulnerable, gullible people. As the result of their consumption of these high-alcohol drinks licensed and marketed under the banner of Standard Alcohol Drinks’ they inadvertently fall victims to serious alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving.

Finally let me conclude focusing on the title - “Why Driving With High BAC Is Wrong While Licensing of High-Alcohol Drinks Not?” - The drunk driving accident research studies basically points to the fact that the people driving having the BAC over and above a given limit (say 0.08 BAC) significantly increase their risk of getting into driving accidents. -Similarly the alcohol epidemiological research basically points to the fact that almost all alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving/accident caused by the high-alcohol drinks generally having around and above 4% alcohol content. Therefore licensing and marketing the drinks having above 4% alcohol content should be should be considered most dangerous like the drunk driving having above 0.08 BAC levels.

Four Main Question Answers On Drunk Driving Causing Alcohol Drinks

Here I put forward four main questions before the alcohol drinks (research, license, DUI law etc) governing authorities. It is mainly to prove that only those high-alcohol drinks, which contains around and below 4% alcohol content causes almost all those alcohol(ism) including the drunk driving problem. On the other hand the low-alcohol drinks that contains around and above 2% alcohol cause none of those alcohol problems. The four main questions in the following:

1). Do the authorities have any alcohol research evidence that proves that the distilled alcohol drinks or spirits that contains around 40% v/v alcohol cause any DUI incidents or accidents?--- The authorities answer immediately could be a yes! They can show you hundreds of such evidences even every day. So let us move on to the second question.

2). Do they have any evidence that the “Wines” that contains around 12% alcohol cause any of the DUI accidents?--- Of course the authorities answer to this also an affirmative yes, they can also show such evidences every day. -- Now the third question,

3). Do they have any evidence to show that the consumption of standard beer or any alcohol drinks, which contains around 4% and above alcohol can result in the DUI accidents? ----The answer is a resounding YES! --- In fact the authorities may contend that most of the fatal DUI accidents seems to have been caused by the drivers drinking this regular beer!---Therefore the beer probably is the most dangerous in this respect. Strangely enough this leads to the conclusion that the lower the alcohol content in the drink the more the drunk driving incidents or the accidents it causes!

4). So we arrive at the final and the most important question to complete this questionnaire :- Do the authorities have any evidence that the consumption of the low-alcohol drinks containing around 2% or less alcohol content cause any of these DUI incidents and most importantly its accidents? I am sure that they do not have any research evidence to prove it! Therefore most probably they would immediately try to evade this question! It is mainly because they do not have any such fundamental evidence despite their claim that the consumption of low-alcohol drinks also potentially cause the alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving/accidents.

Now to cut short the lengthy explanation about the root cause of all those drunk driving or the DUI problems, let me straight away point out that it basically occurs due to a major “alcohol research misconduct”.

Drunk Drivers: Victims Of Alcohol Research Misconduct

Drunk Drivers Fight Back: You Have Nothing to Loose But Your Shackles

The tragic news of drunk driving accidents, injuries and its fatal deaths widely published in the media. They mostly project the drunk driver as a marauding criminal who ‘intentionally’ go maiming, murdering people on their way!

However this conventional stereotype image of the drunk drivers projected DUI prevention advocates and the authorities remains far from the truth. Many times the DUI victims are the co-passengers, traveling in the same fateful vehicle if not the drunk drivers themselves. They are the close family members, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, close relatives dear friends, and colleges of the drunk drivers rather than someone out side their vehicle, the public!

People who are close to the drunk drivers most of the times would say that the person never would do or did such a thing INTENTIONALLY. They had never thought human life would be lost as the direct result of their drunk driving even in their remotest dreams. Many of them would have preferred themselves to be dead instead of others becoming victims in this accident.

Of course this after remorse may sound meaningless specially to the innocent victims and to their families. The drunk drivers being portrayed as not trustworthy in those circles. Whatever may be the case, nevertheless the entire responsibility and the blame of the drunk driving accidents its fatal injuries and deaths completely nailed upon them.

The great irony of conventional DUI prevention approach is that its advocates and the legal authorities seems not to care to know, what kind of alcohol drinks makes people “DRUNK” in the first place! They contend all kinds of alcohol drinks either low or high alcohol content cause drunk driving/accidents contrary to all those alcohol epidemiological research records which clearly shows only the alcohol drinks that contains around 4% and above alcohol content causes almost all drunk driving accidents!

However, the authorities defend the licensing all those high alcohol (around and above 4% and above v/v) content drinks arguing that these alcohol drinks only meant for those who are able to control or use them responsibly and safely! The alcohol vulnerable people prone to alcohol(ism) problems should not drink it at all.

By the way the authorities seem to conveniently forget that alcohol is a statutory drug. If its use causes any adverse harmful affect even in the minority of the people it’s licensing, marketing considered to be unlawful and banned until the authorities make it certain that it is safe to drink for the public consumption!

The crux of the matter is; all those alcohol(ism) drunk driving/accident problems primarily happens because of a ongoing ‘Alcohol Research Misconduct of the alcohol authorities contending - all alcohol drinks irrespective of the alcohol content in them low or high nevertheless cause the alcohol(ism) problems’. This contention basically allows the licensing of all those high-alcohol content drinks in the name of ‘Standard Alcohol Drinks’, which causes almost all those alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving and its accidents. — The drunk drivers basically are the alcohol vulnerable gullible people made into the DUI scapegoats. I have explained about it in details in so many of my previous blog post one can find some of its links given at the end of this post.

Drunk driving and its accidents causes terrible destruction fatal injuries, deaths, which devastate hundreds of thousands of peoples life. I feel extremely sorry for those “innocent” victims and their families. However for various reasons they may not agree that the alcohol authorities also equally responsible for the drunk driving/accident problems. Instead they follow DUI official, position that entirely puts the blame on the gullible drunk drivers.

Contrary to the DUI official position, the “Drunk Driving Root-Cause” perspective position basically contends that the drunk drivers are the most unfortunate misunderstood tragic victims of various alcohol(ism) problems the drunk driving/accidents epitomizes it. Along with others many times they loose their own life or the life of their most loved ones. Subjected to heavy DUI penalties and torments branded as marauding criminals, murderers, sentenced to long imprisonments, their family falls apart into devastations, stigmatized for life.

To prevent drunk driving/accidents the drunk drivers and people close to them in their plight has to break away and come out of the authorities influence of the falsified DUI indoctrinations, which puts the entire blame on them while remaining utterly silent on the alcohol drink governing bosses who license and market those drunk driving causing high alcohol standard drinks. Expose their misconduct and to strike back. It would be a great fight for justice on the DUI principles in which they have nothing to loose but their SHACKLES!

A SAFE Alcohol Drinks Licensing Policy

Here under the ‘Alcohol(ism) problems prevention perspective’; I propose: a new “safe standard alcohol drinks licensing policy” before the Concerned Governments.

All alcohol(ism) problem causing standard alcohol drinks having around 4% and above alcohol (v/v) should be considered as the “high-alcohol drinks” so very dangerous for human consumption therefore should be placed under strong restrictions or should be heavily taxed. On the other hand the low-alcohol drinks having around and below 2% alcohol should be promoted under the license as “safe” standard alcohol drinks for the public consumption.

In other words; all the high-alcohol drinks should be levied heavy or double tax. Which means a standard alcohol drink (10 to 13 grams Of pure alcohol) in the 4% and above alcohol(v/v) drinks category should cost two times or more than the same amount alcohol in the low-alcohol drinks having around 2% or less alcohol. This is mainly to encourage people to opt for the low-alcohol drinks in which alcohol becomes far more cheaper (it would also provide a ideal grounds for the alcohol epidemiological research) compared to the high-alcohol drinks!

Low-Alcohol Drinks To Prevent Drunk Driving

Alcohol epidemiological research and its survey reports basically points to the fact that the alcohol-drinks having around and above 4% alcohol content (starting from the regular beers) licensed under the banner of Standard Alcohol Drinks causes almost all alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving/DUI/accidents.

On the other hand there are no such research evidence or records that proves that the low-alcohol drinks preferably containing around and below 2% alcohol content causing any such alcohol problems specially the drunk driving or the DUI. This clearly indicates that the low-alcohol drinks are SAFE for human consumption and cause and there is absolutely no epidemiological records of it causing the drunk driving most importantly its fatal accidents.

Therefore on the basis of this alcohol epidemiological research the best solution to prevent the drunk driving problems the Government should ban or place strong restrictions (heavily tax) all those alcohol(ism) problems causing high-alcohol content (4% and above) drinks. At the same time promote the no-alcoholism causing low-alcohol drinks containing around and below 2% alcohol. It should be considered and licensed as the SAFE Standard Alcohol Drinks for the public consumption.

In fact, the root-cause of drunk driving lies basically in the MISCONDUCT, of the alcohol drink Governing Bosses for making no distinction between alcoholism causing and non-alcoholism causing alcohol drinks for public consumption to safeguard their common vested interest. As long as they continue to license and market the above mentioned extremely dangerous high-alcohol (around and above 4%) content drinks for the public consumption in the name of “standard alcohol drinks” those alcohol(ism), DUI mayhem will continue more or less much the same!

Alcohol Research Misconduct: Cause Drunk Driving

Alcohol Research Misconduct: Cause Drunk Driving

By: Valerian Texeira.

Authors Note:- This is the Principle document of this “Drunk Driving DUI: Root-Cause” weblog. It provides an alternative view on Drunk Driving and its prevention. It is fundamentally different from the conventional or the official DUI, DWI view prevailing today. I regularly republish this document in this blog site so not to confine it to the archives. This is its latest updated version to the date.

Introduction

This is a major “Scientific Misconduct” Allegation Report (SMAR) made in good faith. It is the outcome of my long years of study into the alcohol research that finally uncovered that the worlds leading alcohol(ism) problems preventions treatment research ‘institutions’ continue to carry on a major and most treacherous scientific/research misconduct. --- It causes various alcohol(ism) problems, the notorious among is the DUI or the drunk driving, its fatal accidents are the deadliest among all!

Background

My quest started during the year1999 when I first discovered that by opting to the low-alcohol drinks, successfully removed my fast 15 years of chronic alcohol dependence or the alcoholism. Of course this Low-Alcohol Drinking (LAD) ‘wisdom remedy’ known since ancient times I only ‘re-discovered’ it with some modification and named it as the “Zero Alcohol Drink”(ZAD) method. In the year 2000, I was able to publish its book titled: “A Scientific Method to Minimize Alcohol: THE ZERO ALCOHOL DRINK THEORY”. Its book-review got published in THE NEW INDIAN EXPRESS – Science Express on Tuesday 20^th June 2000; and in the UK Journal “Addiction” (April 2001) 96, pp. 657-58. Thereafter its landmark website ‘Alcoholics Curewell’ http://www.geocities.com/alcoholics_curewell was launched in the year 2003.

However the ‘institutions’ dismissed this entire ZAD finding by basically saying that -- there are no such ‘academic’ research evidences to prove it. -- Even after two of my most important papers 1). “The WHO & USDHHS Promoted World Alcoholism Mess” 2). “Zero Alcohol Drink- Alcohol Detoxification Clinical Trial (ZAD-ADCT)” published in the year 2004 and 2005 subsequently, did not change their fundamental position on alcoholism prevention treatment.

Institutions fundamental Alcoholism Position

The Alcoholism prevention treatment research institutions fundamental position, (promulgations) on this matter basically asserts that; ‘alcohol drinks irrespective of the alcohol content in them high or low nevertheless cause alcoholism problems particularly in those vulnerable, “predisposed” people. Therefore, opting for low-alcohol drinking, to prevent or eliminate alcoholism particularly the dependence cannot succeed or such attempts bound to fail (due to the loss or “impaired control” symptom of the alcohol dependence), if the people try it’.

No Research evidence of Low-Alcohol Drinks Causing Alcoholism

My real breakthrough in this matter (uncovering or this scientific/research misconduct) came in 2006 when I started seriously searching for the institutions academic (empirical, clinical, epidemiological) research reports, evidences that supports their above mentioned fundamental alcoholism position. My search took me to look into those leading Alcoholism, preventions treatment research institutions peer-reviewed Journals reports publications. Thanks for the Internet, the world wide “web”, which made it all possible. My search included the most important “Medline Plus” . “PubMed” <http://etoh.niaaa.nih.gov/Pubmed.htm>. “ETHO” <http://etoh.niaaa.nih.gov/About.htm>. However to my utter shock I found absolutely NO such research evidence that basically suggest that the alcohol dependent people who opt for the Low-Alcohol Drinks in order prevent alcoholism problems nevertheless fail in their attempt! On the contrary there are quite a few research that I found, which clearly suggest that opting for the low-alcohol drinks indeed prevent people from most of the alcohol(ism) problems including the drunk driving and so from its fatal accidents!

“Standard Alcohol Drinks” Cause Alcohol(ism) Problems

The most important thing that I learned from my study in this regard is that all the institutions alcohol(ism) problems prevention treatment research conclusions seems to based on the outcome of consuming the “standard alcohol drinks”. The most popular among them is the “standard beer” drink, which contains around 5% and above alcohol (v/v) content. Meanwhile, all these “alcohol research” seems to have totally omitted, ignored or neglected to verify or to check it out whether any of the excessive alcohol consumption, drunkenness, drunk driving its accidents etc. alcohol(ism) problems occurs in the people who prefer, choose or opt to drink the low-alcohol drinks, say containing around 2% or less alcohol v/v, (which is almost around half of the alcohol content of the standard beer) to prevent alcoholism.

All these research strongly confirms to the fact that the excessive alcohol consumption, drunkenness, alcohol(ism) problems in people most probably occur from consuming the “standard alcohol drinks”, which generally contains around and above 5% alcohol (Ironically, these are the same drinks, sanctioned by the institutions, in their much publicized “How to cut down, control, limit or moderate alcohol drinking”) and on the other hand there are NO such research evidences to prove that the alcohol “dependence” (ICD-10, DSM-IV, diagnostic criteria) or the alcohol(ism) problems occur in the people who choose to drink the ‘low-alcohol drinks’.

A Major Scientific/Research Misconduct Allegation Report

It took me some time to realize that this principle “omission”, negligence or failure to conduct the alcohol research on this most critical e Low-Alcohol drinks, brings in a basic default or “FALSIFICATION” into this entire alcoholism prevention, treatment research, which under the principles of “Ethics in Science” is defined as a Scientific or “Research Misconduct” on the part of the institutions. Thereby in a ‘good faith’ I wrote its extensive complaint titled “A Major Scientific Misconduct Allegation Report” (SMAR) containing two parts, (now made available in http://www.geocities.com/scientific_misconduct website) explaining in details many of its different aspect, fundamental points, basic facts, of this matter and send it to the Universities/Institutions most importantly to the NIAAA asking them to immediately undertake an inquiry into this SMAR under the US. Policy of Responding to Research Misconduct Allegation PHS CFR Part 93. <>.

NIAAA, Institutions Total Irresponsiveness to My SMAR

However to my total dismay, majority of those university/institutions members most importantly the NIAAA, completely ignore it to the extent they don’t bother to send me even an initial acknowledgement response to it! This amounts to a reckless disregard or “violation of due process” by these institutions in such matters under the PHS scientific/research misconduct policy, including the Whistleblowers Bill or Rights, as it commands the institutions to send a written notice or acknowledgment in response to a scientific/research misconduct allegation report in the part of its ‘allegation assessment’ regulations.

Health Action

Meanwhile, a beckon of hope to my SMAR comes from a leading health institution in India <http://www.chai-india.org>, which has shown a healthy interest and tried to help me by publishing it under the title: “A Major Scientific Misconduct Allegation Report”(in two parts) in the November and December (year 2006) issue of their health magazine called the "Health Action" in its ‘Research & Ethics’ section.

Final Appeal

I am a lay person committed to social justice most of my life, now ended up with this major SMAR, which further escalated by its Whistleblowers complaint. From my disadvantaged position from India, it is most difficult for me to pursue this major public health research misconduct carried out by the leading alcohol research institutions mainly in the US. Ironically it is the US, which faces the drunk driving/accident problems due to this alcohol research misconduct more than anyone in the world today. So there is a serious need of the concerned people media to take up this major public health issue and to see to it that the concerned authorities undertake “A thorough, competent, objective, and fair response” mandated under the US Policy [PHS CFR Part 93. 300 (b), 304 (b)] of “Responding to Research Misconduct Allegation” for the sake of the worlds public health.
