About Alcoholism
Drinking when done socially and in a moderate fashion does not harm anyone. But once an individual crosses this line of moderation and enters the dangerous territory of heavy drinking, the cycle turn vicious and can send the person spiraling down the lane of alcohol abuse or alcoholism.
Alcoholism can be simply defined as an illness where a person becomes physically as well as psychologically dependent on alcohol for survival. Alcoholism is as dangerous and destructive as any other drug abuse habit and the patient suffering from this issue needs immediate alcohol rehab in order to recover.
