Alcoholism is a disease marked by a craving for alcohol. People who suffer from this illness are known as alcoholics. They cannot control their drinking even when it leads to serious harm, such as health problems, relationship difficulties, job loss, or injury.
Medical science has not found the exact cause of alcoholism, but research suggests that genetic, psychological and social factors
all play a part. Alcoholism cannot be cured yet, but treatment can help an alcoholic avoid drinking and regain a healthy life.
