Impaired Driving: ◆ Since a person does not need to be drunk to be physically impaired, it is suggested that phrases such as “alcohol-impaired driving” or “drug-impaired driving” be substituted for “drunk driving” or “drugged driving.” ◆ The term “accident” when referring to an alcohol or drug-related collision suggests that the incident could not have been prevented or that no one was at fault. Use of the word “crash” (i.e., drug-related crash or alcohol- related crash) is preferred. Chapter 27 Terminology Drug Terminology Suggestions

The following points for considerationregarding recent changes in alcohol and drugterminology were developed as a resource forentertainment development and production.They are not meant to limit the creative process.
Alcohol and Drug Terminology:◆ Please use phrases such as “the abuse of alcohol” and “the abuse of drugs” rather than“substance abuse.”
◆ The term “use” should be used rather than“abuse” when making statements about peoplewho should not drink alcohol: youth (anyoneunder 21 years of age), pregnant women, recov-ering alcoholics, or operators of motor vehicles.
◆ Because drug use should not be consideredrecreational, avoid the term “recreational use ofdrugs,” which trivializes drug-taking behavior.
◆ “Mood altering” tends to be a weak and inac-curate description of the powerful physiologicaleffect that drugs have on the mind. It is recom-mended that the phrase “mind altering” be used.
◆ To focus attention on circumstances andenvironments rather than label youth, the terms “youth at risk for alcohol and drug use” or “youth in high-risk environments” are pre-ferable to the term “high-risk youth.”
Illicit Drug Use:◆ All drugs are either “illicit” or “licit;” their usecan be either “illegal” or “legal.” For example,
the purchase or public possession of alcohol, alicit drug, is illegal for underage youth, as is theuse of prescription drugs by someone other thanthe person for whom it was prescribed or in amanner contrary to that of its intended use.
◆ When referring to illicit drugs, please do not describe them as “hard” or “soft,” becausethese terms can imply that some drugs are virtually harmless.
◆ Whenever possible, use “injected drugs,”“injection drug use,” or “injecting drug abuser”rather than “IV drugs,” “IV drug use,” or “IVdrug abuser.” The term “IV” or “intravenous” has a distinctly medical connotation, and its use in this context may raise concern about medically appropriate procedures.
Impaired Driving:◆ Since a person does not need to be drunk to be physically impaired, it is suggested thatphrases such as “alcohol-impaired driving” or“drug-impaired driving” be substituted for“drunk driving” or “drugged driving.”
◆ The term “accident” when referring to analcohol or drug-related collision suggests thatthe incident could not have been prevented or that no one was at fault. Use of the word“crash” (i.e., drug-related crash or alcohol-related crash) is preferred.
