Alcoholism is a progressive disorder

People react in different ways to alcohol. In some people, consumption of alcohol produces no noticeable effects, while it creates adverse effects on the physical and mental health of others.  Alcohol is a psychoactive substance which can disrupt the biochemistry of the brain and neurotransmitters because it produces a depressant effect on the central nervous system. This depressant effect can lead to behavioral and emotional changes in a person under the influence of alcohol. If allowed to grow, people who indulge in the consumption of alcohol can quickly become physically dependent and psychologically addicted to the substance.
Early treatment of alcoholism is critically important, as it is a progressive illness that quickly becomes worse and can lead to a lot of pains for the addicted and people close to them.

Effects of Alcohol Abuse

Alcoholism defies a strong will or mental discipline as it incapacitates its victim’s power of restraint, and they will never be able to drink responsibly.
There is a widespread misconception that alcoholism affects only people with poor function or weaklings, but this can’t be further from the truth. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, an estimated 7.2 percent of adults suffer from alcohol abuse disorder. Alcoholism is a chronic disease which can result from factors such as lifestyle, psychological, genetic, and physical circumstances. It can afflict anybody irrespective of their social, racial, religious or moral standing.
The World Health Organization states that globally, alcohol is a leading cause of physical harm and diseases, and contributes to about six percent of deaths worldwide. Alcohol consumption has been identified as a risk factor in many health issues such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, liver cirrhosis, and psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression.
