It is an epidemic because in small towns, everyone knows everything about each other and there's no way to get out of it so many small towns turn to drinking to help them get over this
This is a great question. I know that many small towns in America are really hurting because the factory jobs that once sustained them have not gone oversees. My wife an I visit a small down in New Hamspire over the summer - it was pretty depressing. This could be part of the problem. Usually, people who abuse substances are trying to escape from something.
In a smalltown alcoholism is an epidemic because there arent many things to do and people need to find ways to have fun and alcohol is the only get away they find.
It depends the types of environment the town is because if it is a really poor town and everyone is struggling people may turn to alcoholism as the only way to slove their financial problems
