Effects of Alcohol. FHWA regulations require that written drug and alcohol policies include a discussion of the effects of alcohol misuse. That information is contained in the attached “Alcohol Fact Sheet” which appeared as part of the “Implementation Guidelines for Drug and Alcohol Regulations in Mass Transit,” issued by the FTA’s Office of Safety and Security.
Effects of Alcohol. Alcohol is the most commonly abused chemical substance in the country and in the workplace. Of the two-thirds of all Americans who drink, there are an estimated thirteen million people with serious drinking problems. A problem drinker is anyone who frequently drinks to the state of intoxication. While intoxicated, he/she may exhibit behavior that would never occur while sober. Alcohol problems have a devastating impact on family life, health, and the workplace. The family may be subject to frequent episodes of violence, physical and emotional neglect, diabetes, ulcers, hypertension, and kidney problems. Emotional health is affected as well due to alcohol misuse, presenting symptoms such as depression, anxiety, hallucinations, and insomnia. Alcohol abuse in the workplace costs corporate America millions of dollars each year through excessive absenteeism, lack of motivation, and a rise in the use of medical benefits associated with illness caused by alcoholism. The most effective way to combat alcohol misuse is treatment. Alcohol detoxification rehabilitation is the only method of intervention used to interrupt alcoholism.
