Alcoholism

Long term heavy drinking can lead to addiction and a condition known as alcoholism. This is a disease where the effects of alcohol become worse over time. When people are addicted to alcohol and try to stop, they experience withdraws such as tremors, vomiting and convulsions.

Some people believe that alcoholism is caused because people don't have self control over themselves. Others believe that it is a disease or physical disorder. Critics say that they doubt alcoholics have a craving for alcohol and that the condition gets worse with time. Also, they say that being an alcoholic is incurable and some alcoholics can never return being a moderate drinker.
