Alcoholism is a condition, wherein, the person drinking alcohol, though aware of its negative consequences, cannot resist the urge to drink. At times, it is referred to as 'continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, despite health problems and negative social consequences'. The quantity of intake, frequency and regularity of drinking that defines alcoholism varies from individual to individual. While, for some, alcohol addiction, or alcoholism, can happen within months of having the first glass, others might fall prey to the addiction after more than a couple of years. Unless treated, alcohol abuse can destroy a person both physically and emotionally and also prove to be fatal. Read on to explore the various causes and symptoms of alcoholism.
