Drunk German Soldiers Pose Risks to Themselves and Others
Miami, Florida (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- According to The Local, Germany Edition, on 6/25 in their article, Booze battle tackles sozzled soldier scandal, that many German soldiers are suffering from alcohol abuse and one is believed to have killed himself. Recently, at the Bundeswehr's Mazar-i-Sharif camp in northern Afghanistan, dangerous incidents involving drunken soldiers have occurred that have forced the camp commander to tighten rules.
This news story not only reflects the growing problem of alcohol abuse worldwide, but serves to point out how those suffering from an alcohol dependency can become less responsible and cause harm to themselves and others. Alcohol abuse can cause serious health issues up to and including death for drinkers.

The article, Booze battle tackles sozzled soldier scandal, states that many times, soldiers were found asleep in ditches, but that's not all. Some soldiers have misplaced and lost weapons while others have wrecked army vehicles after binging on alcohol. On a more serious note, another soldier is believed to have taken his own life by shooting himself with his own weapon. He was said to have consumed a considerable amount of alcohol before the tragedy.
Jörg Vollmer, Camp Commander, has cracked down on the problem with 17 cases of disciplinary action relating to alcohol abuse. Usually the punishment has been in the form of fines but 14 soldiers have also been excused from duty and sent home.
“Alcohol abuse can strike anyone and could cost you your job, family and self worth. Take action by checking into a detox center such as Harbor Village that offers safe, effective treatment,” said Robert Niznik, Harbor Village CEO.
