1 If your flask has not been used for some time, rinse with warm water to remove any residual odours. 2  DO NOT overfill your flask. Leave sufficient space in the neck to fit the stopper.  After filling, always ensure that both the outside cup and stopper are tightly closed.
The 8.4% prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence estimated by the present study (13.1% for men and 4.1% for women) is above the average value of 6% that Galduroz et al8 (2003) found in a survey performed in 1999.
The costs associated with alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, and heavy drinking were calculated. Results The weighted average of the total societal cost due to alcohol abuse as percent gross domestic product (GDP)âpurchasing power parity (PPP)âwas 1.58%.The cost due to heavy drinking and/or alcohol dependence as percent GDP (PPP) was estimated to be 0.96%.Conclusions On average, the alcohol-attributable indirect cost due to loss of productivity is more than the alcoholattributable direct cost.he cost due to heavy drinking and/or alcohol dependence as percent GDP (PPP) was estimated to be 0.96%. Conclusions On average, the alcohol-attributable indirect cost due to loss of productivity is more than the alcoholattributable direct cost.
