The commission, composed of authorities in alcohol research and established under a $1.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, has published the findings of its six-year study in a volume, "Alcohol Problems: a Report to the Nation." According to the commission, its report is designed to clear the air of misconceptions and strip away inhibitions in discussing the subject of alcohol, and to provide some guidelinesfor dealing with and preventing alcohol problems in a modern society.
