Alcohol Addiction FAQ

When someone drinks alcohol, it enters the bloodstream and eventually reaches the brain. Alcohol acts as a depressant on the central nervous system, which means it slows down the brain’s activity. This can lead to feelings of relaxation and pleasure. However, alcohol also disrupts the normal functioning of the brain, which can lead to problems with thinking, memory, and emotion.
Yes, alcoholism is considered a disease because it is a chronic illness that affects a person's physical and mental health. Alcoholism can lead to health problems such as high blood pressure, liver disease, and heart problems, and it can also exacerbate mental health issues. Alcoholism is a serious condition that requires treatment, and it is important to seek help if you are struggling with alcohol addiction.
Alcohol addiction can develop over time. Someone who drinks alcohol regularly may develop a tolerance to it, which means they need to drink more and more to get the same effects. As someone's tolerance increases, they may start to feel that they need to drink alcohol in order to feel normal. This can lead to dependence, and eventually addiction.
There is no single cause of alcoholism, but there are some risk factors that may make someone more likely to develop the disorder. One of these risk factors is genetics. Research suggests that alcoholism can run in families, and people who have close relatives with alcoholism are more likely to develop the condition themselves. However, it is important to remember that not everyone who has a family history of alcoholism will develop the disorder, and there are other factors that can contribute to the development of alcoholism.
