Alcoholism is a disease which occurs due to uncontrollable and regular usage of alcohol beverages. An alcoholic is a person who is not able to control drinking of alcohol. Such person has difficulties in their family, in their work place and within themselves. 2 dl of vine has about 150 calories, as much as 6 spoons of sugar, but it has no minerals, proteins nor vitamins and that is why it is not food!
Alcohol in smaller amount acts on the control and behavioral norms. In large amounts it slows down reflexes, alters normal thinking process, leads to incomprehensible speech and blurs your conscience. In large amount it leads to unconscious state, sometimes even death. Alcoholism can be cured. Most important thing in treating is actually restraining from alcohol (abstinence). This only depends on “strong will”, because alcoholic is addicted to alcohol. This can be achieved by professional treatment, if the alcoholic wants to get better.
