Annotation

THE FEAR OF LOSS OF DRIVING PRIVILEGES MAY HAVE A DETERRENT EFFECT ON THE SOCIAL DRINKER, BUT IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE ALCOHOLIC OR PROBLEM DRINKER.

Abstract

RATHER THAN REVOKING DRIVERS LICENSES, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT PROGRAMS OF REHABILITATION BE ESTABLISHED. VARIOUS STUDIES ARE CITED WHICH PROVIDE GROUP AND FAMILY COUNSELING TO DEAL WITH SUCH DRIVERS. DISTINCTIONS ARE MADE IN DEALING WITH SOCIAL OR PROBLEM DRINKERS.
