Alcoholism and dependence
Alcoholism and dependence
Alcohol abuse leads to dependence and addiction, which is what causes this situation. Since of this, drinking becomes difficult to control because there is a physical and mental dependence on alcohol. Excessive alcohol use has been linked to a number of negative effects, such as sleeplessness, erectile dysfunction, brain damage, pancreatitis, gastrointestinal bleeding, dementia, and alcohol-related liver disease (cirrhosis). Alcoholism has an effect on a person's physical, emotional, and social well-being as well as on how they interact with their friends, family, and workplace. Regular heavy drinking raises the chance of developing several different cancer types. Alcoholism is another name for it.
