Do you know anyone that suffers from alcoholism?
1_Wizard
Yes, unfortunately I do.   I found out that alcholism was called alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence.

That's horrible. My dad is an alcoholic and it really makes me hate alcohol.

It really changes them into another person.   I didn't know that binge drinking was considered alcohol abuse.  Is he a binge drinker or dependent?

He's dependent. He drinks beer throughout the day. He rarely binge drinks a lot at once. It's usually spread out throughout the day.

Wow, I know there are a higher percentage of men than women that binge drink.  Both cases are sad.
