Is alcoholism a disease like any physical disease?
Is alcoholism a disease like any physical disease? I guess I would consider it more of a mental disorder like depression or anxiety. Not exactly a physical disease like cancer I would think.
Anyway my larger point is are most people who drink to much alcoholics or simply irresponsible assholes in your opinion? Or both I guess. I have times when I drank to much but I don't think I have an addiction or compulsion to drink. Just kind of like to get drunk every now and then and have a good time. Its not that I cant stop drinking. The other night I went into a bar and had one beer and that was it. Never had a dui or lost a job due to the bottle. Maybe drink about once a week maybe 4 or 5 beers at a time. Anyway where is the line between someone who drinks and someone who has a drinking problem?
