(PRWEB) October 31, 2006 -- StopDrinkingAdvice.org Offers Much Needed Advice To Help People Stop Drinking.

At least 16% of Americans have made a serious effort to stop drinking and according to a Gallup Poll conducted in 2000 more than a third of Americans surveyed admitted that drinking had caused problems in their families and 16% indicated they had made a serious effort to stop drinking. This was up from 15% in a 1999 survey who said that had tried to stop drinking. StopDrinkingAdvice.org is a new web site dedicated to providing helpful information to people who are ready to stop drinking.

Has alcohol consumption increased over the years? It appears so.

The statistics indicate that Americans are drinking in greater quantity and more frequently than in recent years while the highest incidence of drinking was in 1970 when approximately 69% reported drinking on a regular basis.

The biggest concern has to do with how alcohol consumption is affecting people's lives and their families. According to Ed Philips of http://www.stopdrinkingadvice.org when drinking starts to cause personal and family problems it is a sure sign of a drinking problem.

It is not easy to stop drinking and many with alcohol addiction just don't know where to start. Ed Philips says, It is important that anyone who wants to stop drinking develop a plan that includes the support of family and friends and in many cases their physician. This support system can mean the difference between successfully quitting and falling back into drinking.

It may even be necessary for some people to get professional help. While some can successfully stop drinking alone others need medical help to deal with the withdrawal symptoms associated with alcohol addiction, says Ed Philips.
