Gray discusses the misconduct of judges who are suffering from alcoholism and the need to help and discipline them in order to restore public confidence in the judiciary. Restoring public confidence in the judiciary is the duty of state judicial conduct commissions and supreme courts that review their decisions. No judge has ever been disciplined for suffering from alcoholism, but many of the signs and symptoms of alcoholism--hostile behavior, frequent absences, and inappropriate behavior and moods--are also the types of behavior that lead to violations of the code of judicial conduct--violations of the law, delay, and intemperate behavior, for example.
, also known as alcohol dependence, is a disease that currently affects nearly 18 million adults in America. Several million more adults and teens engage in risky drinking that could lead to alcohol problems. These patterns include binge drinking and heavy drinking on a regular basis. Furthermore, 53 percent of men and women in the United States report that one of their close relatives has a drinking problem (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and , 2006). The NIAAA, the agency that funds most of the research in , provides these signs and symptoms of , alcohol abuse, and problem drinking.

It's part of the annual National Alcohol Screening Day, which allows anyone to fill out a brief, written alcohol-assessment questionnaire anonymously and without charge.

Continued excessive alcohol consumption can lead to the development of dependence that is associated with a withdrawal syndrome when alcohol consumption is ceased or substantially reduced. This syndrome comprises physical signs as well as psychological symptoms that contribute to distress and psychological discomfort. For some people the fear of withdrawal symptoms may help perpetuate alcohol abuse; moreover, the presence of withdrawal symptoms may contribute to relapse after periods of abstinence. Withdrawal and relapse have been studied in both humans and animal models of alcoholism. Clinical studies demonstrated that alcohol-dependent people are more sensitive to relapse-provoking cues and stimuli than nondependent people, and similar observations have been made in animal models of a...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a safe, noninvasive method to examine the brain's macrostructure, microstructure, and some aspects of how the living brain functions. MRI is capable of detecting abnormalities that can occur with alcoholism as well as changes that can occur with sobriety and relapse. The brain pathology associated with chronic excessive alcohol consumption is well documented with imaging of the living body (i.e., in vivo imaging). Consistent findings include shrinkage of the frontal cortex,1 underlying white matter, and cerebellum and expansion of the ventricles. Some of these changes are reversible with abstinence, but some appear to be enduring. Research showing correlations between brain structure and quantitative neuropsychological testing demonstrates the f...
