Alcoholism Recovery

Alcoholism presents itself as a chronic condition and is defined as a chronic dependence on ethyl alcohol. The issue begins as a psychological dependence, and then progresses (or regresses) to a combination of psychological and physical dependence. Ten percent of Americans who imbibe of alcoholic beverages statistically develop an alcohol consumption problem (dependence/addiction). Alcoholism statistically affects four men for every one women, yet issues concerning alcohol consumption problems are on the increase among women.
Children, adolescents and college students, who typically strive to "get" drunk and participate in binge drinking are on the rise in the statistical overconsumption of alcohol.
