SEC-S13 / W5 | "How can alcohol cause damage to your health!
My appreciation goes out to the MoDs and Admins of this awesome community for the good job they are doing in keeping our community thriving. Weldon and more grease to your elbows.
| Am doing justice to this all time beautifully topic with the hints below |
|---|
🍺When can we say that a person is an alcoholic? Give reasons for your answer! |
|---|
Alcoholism as an addiction has become a serious menace to the society at large. We see so many people who are addicted to alcohols and has caused serious problems to the family members and the society at large.
A person is said to be an alcoholic when the person cannot stop taking alcohol or overcome or control the desire to take alcohol. When someone has a desire to stop drinking alcohol and yet cannot stop, that person has become addicted to alcohol. Or when someone is overly dependent on alcohol to be the motivation to live out one’s daily life.
🍺 Do you think alcohol is a drug? justify your answer! |
|---|
Alcohol is classified as a drug because it’s also known as ethanol which is used as a sedative drug in treating some health conditions like sleep disorders, panic or in situations where someone is overly stressed and etc.
just like the way drugs can be abused alcohols can be abused too.
🍺Can alcoholism be considered a disease? How to control it! |
|---|
Yes alcoholism was declared a disease in 1956 by the medical association of America. Source
To control alcoholism, the alcoholic will have to enrol for a therapy session with a psychologist. They could also need to detoxify in extreme cases and also take drugs which will help to reduce the desire for more alcohol.
🍺 Is every drinker considered an alcoholic? |
|---|
No. Not every drinker is an alcoholic. Some people drink occasionally and for different reasons and even due events like weddings, so that doesn’t make the person an alcoholic. Someone becomes an alcoholic when they cannot control their desire to drink even when they want to stop or when they become dependent on alcohol to function.

Thankyou so much for sharing your beautiful post with us. You have presented every answer in a proper manner. As we are aware that consumption of alcohol is very bad for our health but some people do not understand this and start taking alcohol or we can say that they start the consumption of alcohol on a regular basis or on weekends.
If anyone is consuming in a very small limit then it may be fine. Good luck.
Best of luck for the contest. Success to you 🙏
You made a very good point here. A bit of it may pose no danger but it becomes an issue when it’s taking in excess.
But come to think of the fact that some didn’t even like to drink until a friend influenced them. Do you think that there’s a probability of someone getting involved in binge drinking only for it to become a habit and then an addiction especially if it has to do with peer association?
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
I love this definition of alcoholism, it captures all the main ingredients which centers around inability to self terminate the habit.
It has been observed that even some drunkard are not alcoholic and ironically we have alcoholics that do not get drunk. I have tried to explain this in my entry on Alcoholism
Wooow. Greetings sir. Nice to have you here.
Nice point you made there. I’d stop over and see that X-ray. Meanwhile thank you for dropping by and commenting validly on my post. I’ve learnt something new today.
My warm regards and success with the contest.
I love your definition of alcoholism to be frank. You nailed points in this post and even cited sources which may be beneficial to us. Not all drinkers are actually alcoholic no doubt and it's good to know that alcohol has both positive and negative effect on the human body. Thanks for sharing
Yes my friend. You are right about that affirmation. Thank you for visiting my blog and dropping valuable comment. Warm regards and wishing you success in the dynamic.
