More than seven percent of the population ages 18 years and older -- nearly 13.8 million Americans -- have problems with drinking, including 8.1 million people who are alcoholic. 1/3 of alcoholic deaths are from suicides or accidents such as drownings, head injuries from falling, or car crashes. http://www.alcoholaddiction.info/alcoholism-statistics.htm
