Alcohol in schools

A study was made concerning students and how many of them did illegal actions such as taking drugs, gambling and also drinking alcohol. There were only about 40 percent of the students surveyed who not touched any alcohol or illicit substance. But that is actually an improvement compared to previous years. But still, more than half of the students who were studied had consumed alcohol. There is a decrease but it is still was too big a number.

Almost 28 percent of all students say that they drunk enough alcohol to say that they were actually drunk in the last month. Most of them don’t actually have to buy the alcohol, but they usually find some at home, with or without parents knowing about it.

Drunk and driving in NewFoundland

Newfoundland is not a province that has seen that many drunk driving accidents and fatalities. In 2003, there were only a little over 45 people or died on the road because of alcohol consumption. There were 28 people who were injured in drunk driving accidents in that same year, that is 33 percent of all road injuries that are related to alcohol drinking. There are different ways that alcohol can be a factor in road accidents, such as a person could be walking down the street, drunk and get hit. But the most of the accidents have the driver drinking alcohol.

Alcohol statistic in NewFoundland

The people in Newfoundland have some substance abuse problem. That includes both alcohol addiction and drug addiction. Statistics show that the rate of substance abuse in Newfoundland is over 13 percent. This in itself is pretty compared to some other Canadian provinces and so worries some of the officials of Newfoundland.

Studies show that there is a link between alcohol misuse and suicide. People who are constantly under the influence of alcohol or who have a dependency towards it often have troubled minds. They are not necessarily happy with their lives and this seems to show in Newfoundland statistics. The rate of suicide with alcohol being involved is over 17 percent. Males have a higher rate than females where this is concerned.
