Alcoholism/Alcohol Abuse
Firstly, alcoholism or severe alcohol abuse impacts people from all walks of life. Secondly, psychological, genetic, and behavioral factors contribute to alcohol abuse. Thirdly and similar to drug addiction, alcohol can also alter an alcoholic’s brain function. Fourthly, this inhibits their ability to make rational decisions and display self-control. Lastly, there are varying degrees of alcohol abuse that need treatment.
Alcoholism reveals itself in many ways. For instance, some people drink heavily throughout the day and others binge drink and stay sober for a while-until the cycle repeats itself. It is an allergy of the bottle and a mental obsession that once a sip of alcohol enters the body of an alcoholic, they can’t stop. Alcohol addiction is incredibly common, yet tough, due to the fact alcohol is a legal substance, easily attainable, and commonly accepted in most cultures. In conclusion, here are some of the physical, emotional and social symptoms that indicate a person is an alcoholic and-or needs alcohol treatment:.
