Alcohol addiction is a term with multiple and sometimes conflicting definitions. While the ingestion of alcohol is necessary to develop alcoholism, the use of alcohol does not necessarily result in addiction. The quantity, frequency and regularity of alcohol consumption combined with the ramifications of financial loss, family disruption, loss of employment and health problems all contribute to the definition.

Contrary to what you may have heard alcohol addiction is not an incurable brain disease. In fact, it is not a disease at all! But, for decades people have believed that alcohol addiction is a disease.

I don’t know what is wrong with me. I am 36 years old and I went away with my girlfriend’s for a weekend away. We went out for dinner and had a couple drinks. I came back to the hotel room, and I could not sleep all night? I feel like anything that is a change to my schedule causes me anxiety maybe? Or was it the alcohol? This is not the first time either. Every time I go away somewhere, I can not sleep the entire night either. But I am usually having a couple of drinks also. Which is it? I want to be able to travel once in a while….. Help
Yes, but I did not just wake up. I layed there from 11 pm till 5 a.m. and could not sleep one bit. Not even an hour….. Would alcohol do that?

Thinking of going on a med next week, but I still have the next few days. There is a lot of pain all throughout areas of my body including the head and chest. I dont have any antianxiety medications here with me and just bought a bottle of red wine. My golf mate told me that red wine can help with anxiety. Will it work?

If someone has been drinking ten beers a day for a couple of months and skipping a day every now and then and then they suddenly stop drinking, what kind of withdrawal would they have? Would they just have the shakes and sweats or would they go into seizures and other severe withdrawal symptoms?
