Alcoholism- Somebody who is addicted to alcohol. Often referred to as having no control over how much they consume, as well as not regarding the consequences after. Even if they have trouble with work, school, and family; they don't stop. Usually the symptoms include: drinking in secret, going out often, blacking out for periods of time, storing alcohol in unlikely places as well as withdrawals after not drinking. I do have personal experiences with my family being alcoholics, which I have cut out now. I now have a healthy family who doesn't drink very often. A close family member of mine is an alcoholic, and she hides alcohol at family functions as well as progressively spent less time sober and more time drinking and out at bars. I completely agree that it takes over their life, but I do not agree with that they have no control. They chose to pick up the bottle, and they chose to neglect those that they love. The amount of alcoholics is rising, and there is now 12.7 percent of alcoholics in the United States. That is so sad and frustrating, because I think of all the people that are affected by them. It's more than just them, it includes family and close friends. It all disappears, and they usually don't care. Alcoholism is depressing.
