Alcoholism vs Alcohol Abuse


Do you know the difference between Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse












Alcoholism (alcohol dependence) and alcohol abuse are two different forms of problem drinking.
  • Alcoholism is when you have signs of physical addiction to alcohol and continues to drink, despite problems with physical health, mental health, and social, family, or job responsibilities. Alcohol may control your life and relationships.
  • Alcohol abuse is when your drinking leads to problems, but not physical addiction.

  2. Me too @Star - some people believe alcoholism is actually genetic so someone can abuse alcohol without actually being addicted to it. I myself don't believe it's actually a disease, but can definitely be an addition.

  3. Agree, nice information on these differences. People are ruining their lives with both Alcoholism and its abuse. What they can do to limit their addiction is to reduced the per day intake so that they can live happily without any problems. Its better to go to any social support network rather useless discussion on nonsense topics. Drug and Alcohol rehab program helps a lot but mutual understanding is much necessary. For more help & support, must browse the world's #1 social support site www.dentedego.com
