ALCOHOL ADDICTION
OR ALCOHOLISM

Addiction Overview:

Alcohol addiction, or alcoholism, is a chronic disease characterized by an inability to control or stop drinking despite negative consequences. It encompasses a range of behaviors, from binge drinking to a consistent reliance on alcohol to cope with daily life.

Behavioral Characteristics:

1. Loss of Control: Individuals with alcohol addiction struggle to limit the amount they drink and often find it challenging to stop once they start.
2. Increased Tolerance: Over time, the body adapts to regular alcohol consumption, leading individuals to consume larger amounts to achieve the desired effects.
3. Withdrawal Symptoms: When not drinking, individuals may experience physical and psychological symptoms such as tremors, anxiety, and irritability.
4. Neglect of Responsibilities: Alcohol addiction can lead to neglect of work, family, and social obligations as drinking becomes a central focus.
