Americans' drinking habits held steady in
the past year, with 66% saying they
consume alcohol and drinkers consuming
just over four alcoholic drinks per week, on
average. 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 9-
12. 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 consum-
ing eight or more drinks in the past week --
averaging more than one per day -- Gallup
finds 22% of drinkers saying they some-
times 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 con-
suming more alcohol than nonwhites -- 4.5
drinks on average in the past week among
whites, compared with 3.3 among non-
whites.
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 self-
reported 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.
You’re Not Alone: Majority in U.S. Drink Alcohol, Averaging Four
Drinks a Week
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 anti-
smoking 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.
Surprise? Tax Hike Cuts Tobacco Consumption
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.
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.
The paper recommends that this type of technology be used by police
departments.
This isn't the first time similar technology was utilized. During the 2003
SARS epidemic, thermal imaging was used to detect infection.
Technology:
New Thermal Imaging System Could
Help Detect Drunk People
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.
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.
After a short break to allow the alcohol to take its effect, they recorded an
advertisement for the fictional drink.
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".
Now You Know:
Why Alcohol Makes You Feel S---
By Wayne Curtis
According to a recent study, fully 100 percent of
adults surveyed believe that the type of liquor
they consume-gin or tequila, vodka or scotch-can
affect how drunk, and what kind of drunk, they
become. (Note: survey respondents consisted
wholly of people who sat near me at bars over the
past year. My thanks to those who participated.)
Everyone I queried was adamant that they, or
people they knew (notably husbands), felt or
acted differently when they chose to drink one
spirit over another. Tequila, for whatever reason,
bore the bulk of the opprobrium. "Tequila makes
me crazy" was a typical answer, which, perhaps
coincidentally, is a line in a Kenny Chesney song.
But when I tried chasing down the physiological
reasons for this accepted truth, I ran headlong
into a wall of facts. Of all the researchers and
academics I asked, fully 100 percent said no, this
belief was simply wrong: ethanol is ethanol, and
whatever spirit you consume, it's the ethanol that
affects you. (I'm talking about hard liquor here.
Wine, beer, and spirits may affect drinkers
differently, thanks to relative alcoholic strength
and the differing rates of absorption by the body.
Liqueurs, which contain sugar and various other
whatnot, may also affect one differently than
straight spirits.)
So, how to bridge the gulf? To start, let's look at
the scientific studies. I turned up one from 1984 in
which rats were injected with solutions of cognac,
scotch, tequila, vodka, or straight ethanol, and
then observed for variations in motor impairment.
The idea was that the test might reveal
differences in the ways we're affected by trace
elements in liquor, called congeners. When a
spirit comes out of a still, it's never pure ethanol.
Usually 10 or 20 percent consists of other
ingredients, including fusel oils and acetaldehyde.
The variation in congeners is why rum (which
starts as sugar) doesn't taste like whiskey (which
starts as grain). But with the inebriated rats, no
differences were observed in behavior or rectal
temperature. (Don't ask.) Of course, it's hard to
discern whether a rat given cognac was more
melancholy than a rat that was given vodka.
Damaris Rohsenow, a professor of behavioral
and social sciences at Brown University, pointed
me to a few other studies, including one that
suggested a high-congener spirit (bourbon,
enhanced with quadruple the congeners) was
more intoxicating than a low--congener one
(vodka). But since the researchers didn't study un
-enhanced bourbon, it's not clear whether the
observed difference would take place in the real
world. Rohsenow also mentioned another study
on liquor and mood, in which patients were given
either bourbon or vodka while living at an
inpatient lab for nine days. Researchers noted an
increase in hostility, anxiety, and depression
across the board. Yet there was no discernible
difference between the bourbon and vodka
drinkers.
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.
Myth or Truth? Does Tequila Make Us Crazy?

Summary: Patience, persistence, and the
right process turn prospects into members.
Increasing membership is a numbers game,
and building the prospect pipeline is the
key. To do so, association membership
directors and staff need to master the long
(or not-so-long) woo.
Sometimes you get a new member over
lunch or at a meeting. Sometimes you
spend a year bringing a prospect in. In
either case, you'll have the greatest success
if you follow the same five basic steps. This
process works because it focuses on
building the relationship; understanding the
prospect's needs and perspective; knowing
when and how to ask him or her to join and
how to follow up; and, ultimately,
transforming the prospect into a member.
1. Question, don't pitch. When you meet a
prospect, you're making a mistake if you
pitch membership right away. Instead, learn
about the prospect's business, his
concerns, his family, his hobbies. The
prospect must know that you care about
him. Ask open-ended questions that will
identify pain points and, most important,
build the relationship. Treat the prospect as
if he were already a valued member. The
conversation will naturally lead to an
exploration of the services your association
offers and the prospect's need for them.
2. Offer guidance. After developing a
rapport and a good sense of what concerns
the prospect, offer guidance. Clarify his
goals and ask whether he has considered
certain strategies. Once you have a good
sense of his needs, suggest ways the
association can support him. Be sure to
articulate the problem and any related
needs using the prospect's language.
3. Make your pitch. After the prospect has
acknowledged that the association can help
him address some or many of his concerns,
ask him to join. Look the prospect in the eye
and tell him you would be honored to serve
him as a member. Be careful here: Don't
push. If the prospect is headed toward
membership, great. If not, ask if he needs
more information about your association
and its services and find out how to follow
up appropriately.
4. Follow up. On the follow-up call, ask the
prospect whether he has any questions
about the membership. Do not be surprised
if he has not read any of the materials you
provided or made a decision. In that case,
use the call as an opportunity to share
additional thoughts. 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.

Q & A
Q:
If a bartender doesn't want to offend a customer who insists on
buying the bartender a shot of alcohol - is it illegal for this bartender to
have on hand (in preparation for this situation) a bottle that is labeled
as vodka - but filled with water? And then - what are other options a
bartender has, for the "buy the bartender a shot & do shot together im-
mediately"?
A:
It is illegal to refill an empty liquor bottle with any substance; once
empty, the label should be defaced and bottle broken; the bottle does
not have to be broken if used for recycling.
Some municipalities may have local ordinances prohibiting bartenders
from drinking while on duty, so please check with your municipality to
see if this is the case where you work. Your establishment may also
have a house rule prohibiting this practice.
The most important thing
in communication is to
hear what isn’t being said.

On the Lighter Side...
An Irish man who had a little too much to drink is driving
home from the city one night and, of course, his car is
weaving violently all over the road.
A cop pulls him over. "So," says the cop to the driver,
"where have ya been?"
"Why, I've been to the pub of course," slurs the drunk.
"Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite a few to
drink this evening."
"I did all right," the drunk says with a smile.
"Did you know," says the cop, standing straight, and
folding his arms across his chest, "that a few intersections
back, your wife fell out of your car?"
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. "for a minute there, I
thought I'd gone deaf."
