The difference between drunkenness and alcoholism is named

< /p>

Many people are firmly convinced that there is no difference between the concepts of “drunkenness” and “alcoholism”. However, these are diametrically opposed concepts.

It turned out that drunkenness is nothing more than a habit that a person can get rid of at any time if he wants to. But alcoholism is a serious chronic disease in which a person cannot control the amount of alcohol consumed and needs the help of specialists.

People addicted to alcohol almost always deny their powerlessness in the face of a bad habit. They claim that they can stop drinking at any time, but they don't. Often they begin to drink alcoholic beverages in secret from their loved ones. Excessive alcohol consumption provokes problems in the functioning of the kidneys and liver, as well as memory failures.
