Alcohol addiction, commonly known as alcoholism, is characterised by a thirst for alcohol and an inability to stop drinking despite any harmful effects. Alcohol addiction happens when the brain adjusts its regular processes as a result of long-term alcohol use's chemical changes. Since alcoholism is a progressive disorder, continued usage will have severe effects and increase the likelihood of health issues.
Alcohol use is associated with a variety of negative health and social effects, including as deterioration of interpersonal relationships, heart and liver disease, cancer, vehicle accidents, alcohol overdose, violence, homicide, and suicide.
