What Are Alcohol Problems?

Many people who consume alcohol are not instantly considered alcoholics. Some
   people only drink socially, some young adults experiment with drinking in
   college, some religions strongly prohibit its followers from drinking alcohol at
   all.
When do you cross over a line between social and moderate drinking and a
drinking problem? First you need to identify a drinking problem, by
understanding “Alcoholism”.

What is alcoholism?
Alcoholism, which is also known as “alcohol dependence syndrome,” is a disease
that is characterized by the following elements:

Craving: A strong need, or compulsion, to drink.

Loss of control: The frequent inability to stop drinking once a person has begun.
Physical dependence: The occurrence of withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea,
sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, what are alcohol problems use is stopped after
a period of heavy drinking. These symptoms are usually relieved by drinking
alcohol or by taking another sedative drug.

Tolerance: The need for increasing amounts of alcohol in order to get “high.”

Having alcoholism problem has nothing to do with the type of alcohol one
consumes, the duration of time the alcohol had been consumed, the amount of
alcohol, or even how early in life a person starts drinking. The nature of
alcoholism lies in the person’s uncontrollable desire for alcohol.

The very definition of alcoholism, affords us an understanding of why most
alcoholics cannot abstain from drinking, even if they are minded of it. The person
who suffers from alcoholism, has to undergo a daily fight with his powerful
alcohol cravings. These types of cravings can be just as strong as the basic
cravings for food and water.

There is a small amount of people who are able to overcome their what are
alcohol problems, however the majority of alcoholics in the desperate need of
outside help, that is available for this type of addiction, and are successful in the
recovery process.

It has been a question and dilemma for many generations, to figure out why
alcoholism only affects some people, but not others. It has been determined from
a recent statistics that many people that are afflicted by alcoholism, are
susceptible to it due to alcoholism inheritance. However, many people who had
both parents as alcoholics, grew up to be either non-drinkers or social drinkers
only.

Another important risk factor for alcohol addiction, is environmental influence. If
a child surrounded by alcohol drinkers, and alcohol is present at home and easily
obtainable, there is a big risk that the child will start consuming alcohol as well.
Alcoholism, is also defined as dependence or addiction, and has a destructive
    pattern of alcohol use, that includes tolerance to or withdrawal from the
    substance, and inability to stop using it.

    There are several symptoms of alcoholism:

•         Uncontrollable drinking
•         Obsessive acts of getting and buying alcohol
•         Irrational behaviors
•         Inability to stop drinking, despite the detrimental consequences of
    alcoholism.
    Alcoholism, most certainly is considered a disease, and often is associated with
    mental health problems.

    There are several risk factors for possible drinking problems:

•          Depression, anxiety, mood wings
•          Genetic predisposition to alcoholism.
•          Insecurity, lack of confidence, or self regard.
•          Past physical or emotional abuse problems.
•          Exposure to alcohol in a early age of childhood development.
