An article in the Family Safety magazine points out that few people realize that about half of the 10 million alcoholics in the U.S. are women and their numbers are growing rapidly. Gallup polls show that since World War II the proportion of female drinkers in this country has increased twice as fast as that of males. The social, emotional and financial cost of alcohol abuse is staggering. Alcohol causes or contributes to tens of thousands of accidental injuries and deaths every year.
