Beer continues to be Americans' preferred drink, although wine remains a close second, with liquor favored by 22%. The findings are from Gallup's annual Consumption Habits poll, conducted July 912. Although 66% of Americans say they "have occasion to drink alcoholic beverages such as liquor, wine, or beer," a third of these say they had no drinks in the seven days prior to the survey. This leaves roughly four in 10 Americans (44%) who appear to be regular drinkers, consuming at least one alcoholic beverage in the past week. While only 12% of drinkers report consuming eight or more drinks in the past week -averaging more than one per day -- Gallup finds 22% of drinkers saying they sometimes drink too much. This is up from 17% last year, but similar to the percentages in most other years over the past decade. Prior to 2001, the proportion tended to be higher. Drinking habits vary considerably by gender, race, and age. While roughly equal proportions of men and women say they ever have occasion to drink, men tend to drink more. Specifically, men who drink report consuming 6.2 drinks, on average, in the past week, compared with the 2.2 drinks consumed by women. Also, nearly three in 10 male drinkers admit they sometimes consume more alcohol than they think they should, versus 14% of female drinkers. Not only are whites more likely to drink than nonwhites, but white drinkers report consuming more alcohol than nonwhites -- 4.5 drinks on average in the past week among whites, compared with 3.3 among nonwhites. Younger adults drink more than older adults and, as a result, men aged 18 to 49 are the heaviest drinkers of any age/gender group. The sharpest differences are seen in selfreported overdrinking, with 36% of younger men admitting they sometimes drink too much, compared with 18% of older men, 20% of younger women, and 8% of older women. The slight majority of male drinkers, 55%, say they most often drink beer, followed by liquor and wine at 21% and 20%, respectively. Female drinkers have an equally strong preference for wine, with 52% saying they most often drink wine and just over 20% favoring either liquor or beer. Beer is the beverage of choice among both 18- to 34-year-olds and those aged 35 to 54, while adults aged 55 and older lean more toward wine. Additionally, drinkers in the Midwest show the greatest preference for beer, while those in the East are the most likely to drink wine, as Gallup has found in prior years. Alcoholic Beverage Consumed Most Often by U.S. Adult Drinkers, by Gender, Age, and Region, July 2012 Bottom Line Drinking is commonplace in the U.S., with two-thirds of Americans saying they ever drink alcohol, and just over 40% reporting that they had at least one drink in the past week. Drinkers still show a slight preference for beer, but wine is not far behind. With drinking comes overdrinking, and despite possible reluctance by some respondents to admit problems, one in five drinkers -- representing 14% of all U.S. adults -- say they sometimes drink too much. The rates are particularly high among men and younger adults, making younger men the most at risk for this behavior. Surprise? Tax Hike Cuts Tobacco Consumption By Dennis Cauchon A giant federal tobacco tax hike has spurred a historic drop in smoking, especially among teens, poor people and those dependent on government health insurance, a USA TODAY analysis finds. A USA TODAY analysis finds 3 million fewer people smoked last year than in 2009. President Obama signed the tax hike — the biggest to take effect in his first term — on his 16th day in office, reversing two vetoes by President Bush. The federal cigarette tax jumped from 39 cents to $1.01 per pack on April 1, 2009, to finance expanded health care for children. Since then, the change has brought in more than $30 billion in new revenue, tax records show. Yet the tax hike and its repercussions remain mostly unknown to the non-smoking public. The tax increase's size and national reach lifted prices 22% overnight, more than all state and local tax hikes combined over the past decade when adjusted for inflation. Result: The tax hike has helped restart a long-term decline in smoking that had stalled in recent years. About 3 million fewer people smoked last year than in 2009, despite a larger population, according to surveys by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The tax hits hardest on families who make less than $50,000 a year and account for two-thirds of smokers. "The federal tax increase was the win-win that we thought it would be and the evidence shows that," says Danny McGoldrick, research vice president at the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. Teen smoking immediately fell 10% to 13% when the tax hike took effect, says researcher Jidong Huang of the University of Chicago at Illinois. "High prices deter kids from picking up cigarettes," he says. Higher taxes aren't the only reason smoking has fallen dramatically among adults since the early 1980s and among teens since the mid-1990s. Health concerns, smoke-free buildings and marketing restrictions have played a role. Tobacco companies have raised their prices, too, making money off fewer customers. "It's difficult to be specific about what influences individual adult consumer behavior, but taxes are one thing in the mix," says David Sutton, spokesman for Altria Group, maker of Marlboro cigarettes. He says taxes and fees are so high — 55% of Marlboro's retail price — that they unfairly burden adults who choose to smoke. Taxes are the sledge hammer of antismoking efforts. The federal tax hike helped push tobacco use down to 18.9% in 2011, the lowest level on record, according to the CDC surveys. Even smokers who don't quit light up less. In the 1990s, one of every 20 high school students smoked 10 or more cigarettes a day. Today, one out of 71 students smoke that much. Other findings: •Who quit. The elderly and Hispanics slashed smoking most dramatically, each down more than 15% from 2008 to 2011, according to the CDC's National Health Interview Survey. Women quit more than men. Least moved: middle-age men, down just 1.2%. •Health care for poor. About 1 million adults on Medicaid quit smoking, which could reduce future health costs. •Tobacco industry. Consumer spending on tobacco rose from $80 billion in 2008 to $98 billion in 2011 in inflation-adjusted dollars — even though the amount of tobacco purchased fell 11%, Bureau of Economic Analysis data show. Higher taxes accounted for about half that spending increase. The rest went to tobacco companies and retailers. Myth or Truth?

To start, let's look at the scientific studies. I turned up one from 1984 in difference between the bourbon and vodka which rats were injected with solutions of cognac, drinkers. By Wayne Curtis Technology: New Thermal Imaging System Could Help Detect Drunk People A new use for old technology could give police a hand in spotting drunks in public. In a paper that was published in the "International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics," Greek scientists Georgia Koukiou and Vassilis Anastassopoulos are developing new algorithms that will gather data about blood-vessels on a subject's face. The rosy red glow that alcohol gives drinkers is really blood vessels dilating on the skin's surface, which changes the temperature of a person's face. Thermal imaging devices can detect those changes. What Koukiou and Anastassopoulos propose is taking that information and then running it through a comparison of thermal imaging scans of drunk and sober individuals. And that's about it, study-wise. Congeners may affect mood or behavior, but nobody has examined the matter very closely. "Studies are so expensive," said Carlos Ruiz, a psychiatrist with the Florida Hospital Center for Behavioral Health, "and I don't see their value, because, for example, we don't have more tequila-related car accidents versus vodka-related ones." I did, however, hear a couple of plausible explanations for the persistence of the common wisdom. William Oswald, who founded the Summit Malibu Treatment Center, told me that even experienced drinkers may change their rate of consumption when they switch liquors. "If someone were to be a full-on whiskey drinker, he would know exactly how much he can drink without getting too polluted," he said. "If he switches over to gin, it's a different story." How the liquor is consumed is also crucial. If a drinker slams tequila back in shots, then he'll get intoxicated faster than if he was gently sipping scotch. Presto: tequila gets a reputation. That leads to the issue of self--fulfilling prophecy. If people believe tequila makes them rowdier, they may opt for tequila when they want to be rowdy. So that's where we are, until some benefactor funds a more conclusive study. Congeners may slightly alter mood or behavior. But more likely, we're confusing cause and effect, and mood dictates your drink more than drink dictates your mood. Now You Know: Why Alcohol Makes You Feel S--Research shows that alcohol makes us think we are more attractive than we really are. French, US and Dutch researchers believe that memories of glamorous film stars drinking alcohol leads us to associate drinking with attractiveness. The finding comes from researchers who asked 19 men and women drinking in a French bar to rate their own attractiveness and blow into a breathalyzer. The more they had drunk, the more attractive they thought they were, the study published in the Journal of Individual Differences reported. A second experiment revealed that the mere thought of alcohol is enough to boost someone's opinion of themselves. Another algorithm they came up with is used to map the person's face. When drinking a person's nose becomes warmer as their forehead becomes cooler. In this experiment, 86 young men were told they were taking part in a taste test for a new minty lemon drink. Some were given an alcoholic version, others the same drink without any alcohol. In each case, some were told the drink was alcoholic, others were told it was alcohol-free. The paper recommends that this type of technology be used by police departments. After a short break to allow the alcohol to take its effect, they recorded an advertisement for the fictional drink. This isn't the first time similar technology was utilized. During the 2003 SARS epidemic, thermal imaging was used to detect infection. They then watched the tape back and rated their appeal. This showed that those who thought they were drunk rated themselves more highly than the others, regardless of whether they'd had any alcohol or not. However, a third experiment showed this to be an illusion. The study builds on previous research into the "beer goggle effect". Five Steps to Woo New Members By: Anne E.

Since you both have had a chance to reflect since your last conversation, new issues or concerns may have surfaced. Follow the iterative, often circular nature of the five steps: If necessary, go back to step one. 5. Provide great service. This is the key to membership renewal and referrals. Once you have signed up a new member, continue to invest in and build the relationship. Take the time to understand your members' needs and concerns, and visit them as appropriate. Wooing new members requires commitment, tenacity, and patience. These five steps provide an effective process to follow. If you stick with it, you'll master the woo and see your membership numbers grow. Anne E.
