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.
1 The rate of current alcohol use among youths aged 12 to 17 was 11.6 percent in 2013. 2  Youth binge and heavy drinking rates in 2013 were 6.2 and 1.2 percent, respectively. 3  The rates for current and binge alcohol use were lower than those reported in 2012 (12.9 and 7.2 percent, respectively). A majority of underage current drinkers in 2013 reported that their last use of alcohol in the past month occurred in a home setting, either in someone else's home (52.2 percent) or their own home (34.2 percent). 2  The rate for drinking at home was higher than it was in 2012 (31.4 percent).
