Alcoholism is alcohol consumption of beer, wine, and hard liquor used habitually, used on a day-to-day basis or as a coping mechanism.   Alcohol dependency can be both physical and emotional.  Sufferers of alcoholism usually place drinking alcohol above all other obligations and priorities, including family and employment.  Alcoholics build up a tolerance to the amount of alcohol consumed and experience strong withdrawal symptoms when stopping the use of alcohol.  

Alcohol is a Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressant.   It slows down mental and bodily processes. Users may experience a decrease in feelings of anxiety or stress after having a drink. Alcoholism is a chronic and compulsive medical condition.

Alcoholics use drinking to feel confident in social and stressful situations.   It is hard to tell the difference between casual consumption and abuse of alcohol because alcohol is legal and widely accepted.  

Alcohol abuse usually results in physical harm or illness, strained relationships, difficulty holding a job, financial ruin, and addiction to other drugs.  Treatment involves behavior counseling and detoxification to stop drinking safely as well as necessary lifestyle changes.
