Alcoholic veterans study shows VA treatment gaps
A government GAO assessment finds about three million U S veterans may be alcohol dependent, yet only roughly 157,000 received VA treatment in FY 1974 and about 38 percent of those treated achieved abstinence. The typical veteran has a severe problem with hard liquor for around 14 years and an average age of 46 with a high school level education. The report notes a long standing link between servicemen and liquor, and that many ex GIs struggle to quit after service.
