FAQ

  • Is Alcohol a Drug?

    Yes. Alcohol is a depressant, meaning it slows down the body’s central nervous system. This can affect motor skills, speech, and reaction time—often leading to dangerous or risky behavior. Despite its legal status, alcohol is one of the most commonly abused and socially accepted

    substances, which can make recognizing a problem even more difficult.

  • How Common Is Alcohol Addiction?

    • 25.8% of adults aged 18 and older reported binge drinking in the past month

    • 1 in 10 children (7.5 million) in the U.S. live in households with at least one parent who

    has an alcohol use disorder


    Alcohol addiction doesn’t discriminate—it touches people of every age, background, and belief

    system.

  • What Is Alcoholism?

    Also referred to as alcohol use disorder (AUD), alcoholism is a medical condition characterized by a compulsive need to drink, despite negative consequences in one’s health, relationships, or responsibilities. Most people with AUD develop physical dependence and tolerance, meaning they experience withdrawal symptoms without alcohol and need increasing amounts to feel the

    same effects.


    Left untreated, alcoholism can lead to serious, life-threatening conditions such as:


    • Liver disease

    • Pancreatitis

    • Heart disease

    • Stroke

    • Cancer

    • Cognitive decline

    • Mental health disorders


    Recovery is possible—but early intervention is critical.

Signs of Alcohol Addiction

If you're unsure whether you or someone you love may be struggling with alcoholism, ask yourself the following:


  • Do you often drink more or longer than you intended?
  • Do you rely on alcohol to manage stress, anxiety, or sleep?
  • Do you continue drinking despite problems at work, in relationships, or with your health?
  • Have you experienced blackouts or memory loss from drinking?
  • Do you feel irritable, shaky, or anxious when you're not drinking?
  • Do you try to hide or lie about how much you drink?
  • Has your tolerance increased, requiring more alcohol to feel the same effects?
  • Do you often regret your behavior while intoxicated?


These warning signs may indicate a deeper problem—and recognizing them is the first step toward healing.

Physical and Behavioral Symptoms of Alcoholism

Chronic alcohol use can cause a wide range of physical, psychological, and behavioral symptoms, such as:


  • Morning tremors or sweating
  • Frequent diarrhea or nausea
  • Cravings for alcohol
  • Memory loss or blackouts
  • Neglecting responsibilities
  • Ongoing conflicts with loved ones
  • Secretive or dishonest behavior
  • Drinking alone or in isolation
  • Smelling of alcohol throughout the day• Persistent fatigue or depression


If you recognize these symptoms in yourself or someone close to you, professional help is essential.

Understanding the Roots of Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a complex disease influenced by genetic, psychological, and environmental factors. While some individuals may be biologically predisposed—particularly those with impulsive or risk-seeking traits—other key risk factors include:


  • Exposure to alcohol at a young age
  • Childhood trauma or abuse
  • Co-occurring mental health disorders such as anxiety or depression
  • Family history of substance use
