For most, drinking alcohol is a social activity and an accepted part of everyday life. However, for the alcoholic drinking alcohol is a dangerous, uncontrollable and ultimately a self-destructive activity. It can result in a wide variety of drinking related problems such as loss of jobs, relationships, possessions and a deterioration of mental and physical health. Alcoholism and alcohol abuse are considered by some treating professionals to be a disease. Alcoholisms is also referred to as alcohol dependence and generally displays symptoms such as uncontrollable cravings and the compulsion to drink, the loss of the ability to limit or to stop drinking. Physical dependence on alcohol can manifest in increased tolerance and withdrawal symptoms can occur if intake is reduced without supervision. There are many ways to treat someone suffering from alcoholism or dangerous alcohol abuse. By far the most successful occurs when the underlying causes of the drinking behaviour and or alcoholism are addressed.
