I found this source from NAU's Cline Library database. I searched around and found this resource, which kind of looks like doctors' notes on how to identify alcohol abuse in patients. This resource goes through the steps of detecting and identifying alcohol abuse and then rehab through medicine and nonmedicine.

I found this from following a link from a resource from NAU's Cline Library. It is from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism which I have gotten information from before. This resource has information on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, a disorder that many babies are born with if their mother drank alcohol during pregnancy. There is also a list of places to call if you have trouble stopping drinking while pregnant and for more info on FAS.

I found this source from Google. Once Prohibition started, more people started drinking alcohol and alcoholism was more prevelent. This showed that outlawing alcohol was a bad idea. I will use this information as an opposing side to my topic. Illegalizing something doesn't mean it will stop.
