Age restriction is a major reason.
Kid will always want to do wat they are not allowed to. They end up considering that drinking is bravery, a grown up thing, and the booze makers are peddling along their wares presenting drinking as smart, sexy, manly and what have you.
In Southent Europe (Italy, Greece, S. France) where there are no such restrictions, binge drinking is not an issue, and alcoholism rates much lower. The kids are given an occassional sip of wine in family gatherings or celebrations (which they generally decline after they taste it), and it is not forbidden to have a drink if you so please at a younger age.

Answer by kamcrash
A behaviorist is going to look more at the humanistic qualities and emotions of the individual… they will examine the specific “triggers” that lead to having a drink (the behavior) and address those. The humanistic thing – like Maslow’s heirarchy of needs – safety, belonging, etc… (google that if you’d like, too long to explain in great detail) basically it says that deficiency needs must be met before any other needs can be addressed.
A psychoanalyst will play more along the lines of an alcoholic drinks to escape, avoid or counter something… usually a specific event in one’s past. The psychoanalyst will lead or direct the conversation, but will ultimately try to get the patient to “diagnose” themselves.
Hope that helped a bit 
Good luck!

Abort The Idea That ‘Drinking Causes Abortion’
Jan 8th
Alcohol and pregnancy don’t go together and it is better and safe to abstain from drinking intoxicating stuff during pregnancy. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy may lead to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder FASD). This condition is very dangerous for the unborn baby.
Moderate Alcohol Consumption
In Italy, researchers have proven that moderate alcohol consumption is definitely not harmful. But, still it is better to avoid alcohol during pregnancy.
Alcohol and Abortions
Many women may have consumed alcohol even before they discovered they were pregnant. Certain doctors advise such women to have an abortion in case the alcohol they consumed had harmed the fetus. However, this type of advice is not always right. A moderate consumption of one or two drinks per day is okay. However, hard core drinking is a real problem.
Abortions out of Fear
It is not necessary to have abortions out of fear that the alcohol you drank would have harmed your baby. In Australia, the guidelines ask pregnant women should have a maximum of two drinks per day or a maximum of just seven standard drinks in a week. This seems like sensible idea.

In case you had a drink or two before discovering that you were pregnant. then contact your health care practitioner and discuss the issue. Check and recheck whether you need an abortion. In 95% of the case, it may not be necessary. And, once you know that you are pregnant, abstain from consuming alcohol for the safety of the fetus and you.
Gout – Causes And Treatment
Jan 6th
Before we discuss the connection between diabetes and gout, let’s review exactly what diabetes is. Diabetes is a disease where sufferers inject insulin to treat high levels of sugar in the body. A diabetes sufferer doesn’t make enough insulin by themselves so they need injections on a daily basis. Sometimes, patients need multiple injections per day to remain healthy.
Gout is a form of acute arthritis caused by hyperurecemia which is an elevated level of monosodium urate, or uric acid, in the blood. Due to an inability of the body to purge this excess of uric acid, uric acid crystals could form, usually in the soft tissue of the joints, which could cause the patient great pain. Inflammation, tenderness and intense pain, particularly in the big toe, are all indicators that a patient has gout. Gout causes severe joint stiffness and pain. Gout can affect manual dexterity and mobility for those who suffer from this condition. There is no permanent cure for gout.
There are risk factors linked to the causes of gout:
Heredity – gout is hereditary. If other family members have developed gout, there is a higher risk within that family
Alcohol – when men drink more than two drinks daily and women drink more than one daily, it increases the risk of developing gout.
Obesity – children who are obese and adults who carry extra weight are at a higher risk.
Sex – men are more likely to have gout due to higher uric acid levels in the body. However, following menopause, women’s bodies produce more uric acid and are at a higher risk of getting gout.
Age – Men between the ages of 40 and 50 are at the age when gout seems to occur the most often. The age for women varies, depending on when menopause occurs.
Medical conditions – There are certain diseases that increase the possibility of gout developing. These include diabetes, high cholesterol, leukemia, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, and hyperuricemia.
Medications – some medicines used to treat the diseases mentioned above, (and others), can sometimes increase uric acid levels in the body, which could lead to gout.
Treatment
1. No meat in dinner- Not if you are suffering from gout! You should avoid eating meats because all meats contain purines. Purines lead to higher levels of uric acid (cause of gout) in the blood stream and cause gout problems.
2. Flush Uric Acid- Water is the main source of flushing anything! Think of your toilet in this case. A good way to flush the uric acid that causes gout is to drink enough water and eat enough water-soluble fiber. In other words, you should drink at least 12 glasses of water per day and eat 5-7 servings of fruits or vegetables.
3. Reduce Alcohol- Alcohol has been shown to inhibit the amount of uric acid the body can flush. Therefore, drinking too much alcohol can keep uric acid in the body. We suggest only 1-2 drinks per night and following it with a tall glass of water.
4. Alfalfa- This herb is a great source of minerals and nutrients. But it also has been shown to neutralize uric acid in the body. Its simple and can be found in health food stores.

What Causes Adult Acne
Jan 5th
Adult acne is something that affects more women than men, but definitely can strike anyone at anytime during the twenties, thirties, and forties. Some people who develop more severe cases of adult acne end up with the same depression and anxiety that teenagers experience through adolescence. Regardless of age, acne is a condition of the sebaceous glands. These glands are attached to hair follicles and produce an oily substance called sebum. An acne lesion forms when a hair follicle becomes plugged with sebum and dead cells. The pathogenic (disease-causing) events in the sebaceous glands are believed to be due in large degree to changes in levels of androgenic (male) hormones in the body—a circumstance usually associated with the growth and development that occurs between the ages of 12 and 21. Therefore, it is important to look for an underlying cause of acne that occurs for the first time in adulthood.
Types of Adult Acne
Normally there are 4 types of adult acne:
1) Comedo.
2) Pustule.
3) Nodule.
4) Cyst
Some causes of adult acne are:
1) Medications. Some medications, which might be the cause of adult acne, include anabolic steroids, anti-epileptics drugs and anti-tuberculosis drugs. 2) Chronic physical pressure on the skin. Acne mechanical is also one of the most important causes of adult acne. 3) Chlorinated industrial chemicals can also be counted as one of the important causes of adult acne. 4) Changes in the hormonal balance also cause adult acne.
Adult acne treatment: Adult acne treatment depends on the scarring of your skin and the degree of adult acne that has spread in your body. Adult acne treatment needs commitment from both doctors and patients.
Adult acne treatments have the following actions: 1) Keratolytic reduce the blockage in the duct of the sebaceous gland and hair allowing the sebum to flow more freely out of the gland.
2) Anti- inflammatory treatments reduce the degree of inflammation.
3) Sebum reducers just reduce the production of sebum thus reducing acne.
4) Antibacterial treatments can be taken by mouth or applied tropically on the skin. Adult acne treatment reduces the amount of bacteria and inhibits the production of chemical, which can cause inflammation.
The following treatments can be effective for adult acne. First of all check your skin care products that you are using. Some cleaners or soap that you are using might not be suitable for your skin type. Normally a gentle cleaning solution is suitable for all type of skins.
Surgical treatment is becoming more popular for an acne treatment today. With the advancement of technology laser surgery is quickly replacing the conventional surgical tools.
A person who is infected with adult acne should limit sun exposure and should avoid oil-based cosmetics. Regular washing of the affected area cleanses the bacteria and clogged pores. It is also recommended that one consult with a dermatologist.
Since stress levels can boost androgen production and increase incidence of adult cases of acne, you should also work on lowering stress levels. Try to find an activity that you can easily do that helps keep you mentally in balance. Prayer, meditation, and exercise disciplines or even committing to daily aerobic exercise may help clear up the skin as much as any other treatment.
That apart, it is important to keep the skin clean and well cared for, as well as including plenty of water, raw fruits, and vegetables in your daily diet. Some people may also go in for hormone therapy, which seeks to redress the body’s hormonal imbalances by lowering androgen levels.
