A while back there was a discussion about social causes of alcoholism. Alec, I think you raised the question. There is an article in the LA Times this morning, "Economy, Inebriation Linked in Mongolia" (Associated Press), making a direct link between increased use of alcohol in Mongolia and the transition from communism to capitalism. It's terribly sad what is happening there, poverty and unemployment have soared.

I don't have a scanner or I would post it here.
