Army reports high rates of heavy drinking among officers and enlisted
Brig. Gen. Leslie R. Forney Jr testified before a Senate panel that 36 percent of Army officers and 70 percent of enlisted men are heavy or binge drinkers based on a 1972 random survey of 9,910 active duty personnel. He noted the problem is strongest among young enlisted soldiers and outlined rehabilitation and drug policy measures, including preentry screening and treatment capacity at each installation.
