Dr Albert
Makary
Timaru
gynaecologist Albert Makary was born in Egypt but has lived the past 23
years in the West. He is the father of three, a doctor and a thinker.
Dr Makary says New Zealand has a huge alcohol and substance abuse
problem, and as a country we need to completely change the way we think
about the issue. He says the drinking culture in New Zealand has a
direct link to family violence, sexual health, self esteem, and youth
suicide.
How big is the problem
in NZ?
How
does Alcohol Work?
Advertising,
& the Marketing Strategy of Alcohol Companies.
Alcohol
lowers Inhibitions. Sex has become a sport.
Young
people “pre-load” at home on cheap supermarket 13% wine and then go out
11:00pm.
Majority
of teenagers get alcohol from parents.
60%
of sexual assaults involve alcohol.
Drunken
girls being treated like Ewes in a Paddock. No one is addressing
Promiscuity
Highest
Level of Promiscuity = Highest Level of Youth Suicide
Highest Blood Alcohol Drink Drive in
Western World.
New
Zealand Accident and Emergency Hospital Wards are a war zone. Good
Friday no alcohol related admissions, on Saturday five broken jaws from
fighting.
Recent
survey 98% of respondents believe the blood alcohol level should be
lowered. Currently highest in the OECD.
What can be done?
Excess
drinking should be stigmatized.
“We have a chance in a generation to make
change, Alcohol Law Reform Act”.
CHILDREN ARE OUR GREATEST ASSET. Work in
schools with young children discrediting drunkenness. Stigmatize it.
Schools must stop allowing alcohol being
used with sports teams and social occasions.
Grandparents are the most effective people
to bring about this change.
We must make submissions to limit
and control alcohol.
