What You Need to Know About Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a disorder in which a person wants or needs to drink alcohol, even though it hurts them and worsens their lives.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines alcohol use disruption as "the ability to stop or control alcohol use despite social consequences, loss of employment, or harm to health."

Someone with this condition does not know when or how to stop drinking. They spend much time thinking about alcohol and cannot control how much they consume, even if it causes severe problems at home, at work, and financially.
