Alcohol Makes a Case for being America's Biggest Problem

   Alcohol makes a case for being America's biggest problem. It is said it is a factor in 40 percent of our violent crimes. It is the fourth-leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. It is estimated that more than a third of all traffic fatalities are alcohol related.
 One in six unemployed workers are said to be addicted to alcohol or drugs.
 Then, there is towering cost to society. Alcohol problems cost us more than $250 billion every year.
 And, there is the devastation to family lives, friendships and social relationships.
 Alcohol disables more people than most any other cause, Indeed, one wonders if it is the leading disabler. Certainly, when all these things are considered, while you might not conclude alcohol is America's biggest problem, surely you can see it certainly is one of the largest, easily.
