Alcohol is created through the fermentation of grains, fruits, or vegetables by yeast or bacteria converting sugars into alcohol. Moderate alcohol intake causes short-term effects like dizziness and talkativeness, while larger amounts result in slurred speech, nausea, and vomiting. Long-term alcohol consumption can lead to permanent damage of vital organs like the brain and liver, and drinking during pregnancy may cause fetal alcohol syndrome in infants. Alcohol increases domestic violence, child abuse, and the risk of children of alcoholic parents becoming alcoholics themselves. About 2 billion people, or a quarter of the world, consume alcohol with most users being young adults.

Factors that influence voting include sociological factors like income, education, gender, religion, ethnicity, region, and family makeup as well as psychological factors like party affiliation and perceptions of candidates. Income and education are strongly correlated with voter turnout, with higher-income and more educated citizens voting more. Gender is also a factor, as women vote more than men and tend to vote more Democratic. Younger voters vote least while older voters are most reliable, and age cohorts tend to split along party lines. Religious affiliation and ethnicity also impact voting patterns to varying degrees. Geography influences both turnout and party preference. Party affiliation itself does not necessarily dictate one's vote.
Factors that influence voting include sociological factors like income, education, gender, religion, region, and family, as well as psychological factors like party affiliation and views of candidates. People with higher incomes and education are more likely to vote. Since the 1980s, women have increasingly voted Democratic, though the gender gap varies among married and single women. Younger voters tend to vote Democratic but at lower rates. Religious groups influence voting patterns, though the impact of religion has changed over time. Geography also plays a role, as the South shifted to the GOP and cities tend Democratic. Party affiliation is complex, as independents rise but demographic groups still lean to one major party.
The document analyzes the results of the 2010 US elections and their implications for environmental policy issues in 2011. It notes that economic issues dominated voters' concerns in 2010. Republicans made major gains in the House, Senate, and in state elections. Looking ahead, advocates for environmental issues will need to show voters how their agenda supports economic concerns, as fiscal issues are now as influential a force within the GOP as social issues. Clean water remains an important social value, but supporters will need to connect it to voters' personal economic interests.

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) requests that the State of Hawaii prioritize collecting and reporting disaggregated data on Native Hawaiians relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, OHA asks for disaggregated data from the Departments of Health, Labor and Industrial Relations, and Human Services on topics like COVID-19 cases, unemployment claims, and applications for assistance programs. Disaggregated data is critical to understand how the pandemic is impacting Native Hawaiians and to direct resources most effectively. OHA also requests information on how race data is currently collected by these agencies.

Mayor Kirk Caldwell issued a statement regarding the construction of a multi-purpose field at Waimānalo Bay Beach Park. City Council member Ikaika Anderson had requested halting all grubbing work until September 15 out of concern for the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat. However, the environmental assessment states grubbing of woody plants over 15 feet tall should not occur after June 1 to protect young bats.
