The American war on drugs has gotten all the types in recent years, but alcoholism is still the nation’s most serious addiction. True,【B1】______drinking is no longer as fashionable as it once was. But alcoholism’s【B2】______remains very high: Some 18 million Americans abuse alcohol, and more than 100,000 die prematurely each year from【B3】______causes. And alcoholism costs the nation $86 billion a year.
Business picks up most of the tab. Virtually every company has workers with a drinking problem, often veteran employees in executive or other【B4】______positions. When their alcoholism goes【B5】______. it costs a bundle. Problem drinkers don’t pull their weight in the office, are often【B6】______late or absent, and file $4,600 more in health claims a year than other employees.

In the eighties, many corporations developed generous programs to help alcoholic employees recover, often with gratifying results. But now the progress against Corporate America’s biggest drug problem is being threatened. Although few companies are【B8】______alcohol treatment benefits entirely, many are hiring outside vendors to manage care. In many cases, alcoholics are denied the treatment they need because it’s too expensive.

选项
答案
casual
解析
空后的名词drinking表明,本空应填一形容词。短文一开始将重点放在alcoholism(酗酒)上,该句是对酗洒的进一步阐述:随便喝酒不再像以前那样流行了。casual在此意为“随意的,随便的”。
