<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcohol use disorders affect nearly 17.6 million people in the United States. This makes alcohol by far the most commonly abused substance in the country. It is therefore quite common for people to have loved ones who are struggling with this condition.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is extremely painful and difficult to deal with an alcoholic parent. Alcoholism severely impacts a person’s life—as well as those around them. It can cause crippling effects on the family, especially the children.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the parents are suffering from alcoholism, children may suffer from emotional, physical, mental, and financial abuse. Alcoholic parents may also neglect their children. Even when alcoholism doesn’t lead to harm or distress, it often leaves children feeling unloved or unimportant. As the parent grapples with alcoholism, the children are left to fend for themselves.</span></p>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For many children of alcoholics, what causes the most stress is the constant fear and worry. Over time, this can lead to bitterness and resentment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is not uncommon for children with alcoholic parents to blame themselves for the problem. They might think they could be doing more for their parents, even when it is out of their control. It gets even worse when the parent blames that child to their face. The guilt can be overwhelming for some. Not only is this untrue, but also unfair for the child.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No one is responsible for someone else’s drinking problem.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, there are ways for children to help their alcoholic parents get over their addiction. It starts with recognizing the signs of alcohol abuse and then using that knowledge to guide the parent towards sobriety. It is important to remember that no matter how old an alcoholic is, they can still recover.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcohol and alcohol addiction can impact everyone differently. Therefore, the signs and symptoms can differ from one person to another, including the severity and frequency of each symptom. It depends on a wide range of factors such as age, gender, history of substance abuse, drinking habits, etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some alcoholics </span><a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/alcohol/alcohol-and-depression/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">exhibit multiple signs of alcohol abuse</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, while others are very subtle. But still, some signs are common to many, if not most alcoholics.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some of the most common signs of alcohol abuse: blackouts, memory loss, irritability, mood swings, frequent hangovers, changes in appearance, shifting behavior, and increasing isolation from friends and family members.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholics typically have bad drinking habits: whether it is drinking in the middle of the day or drinking all by themselves. They often end up drinking even when they are not supposed to. An addicted individual will continuously seek out alcohol even when they are already suffering from its adverse health effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The alcoholic will keep making excuses for their drinking and their bad behavior. This will lead to increasing difficulties at work or with finances. Alcoholism has more than just physical and mental health effects. It affects a person’s social life too. They may lose friends, struggle at work, or ruin their relationships.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A person struggling with alcoholism will prioritize drinking over other obligations. They will neglect their responsibilities in favor of drinking. Some alcoholics try to hide their drinking habits by keeping it secret.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is quite difficult to approach a parent about their problem, especially if the child doesn’t know how to do it or how to open the conversation. The first thing to keep in mind is that no one can force someone else to change. Children cannot make their parents quit drinking—not unless the parent decides to quit on their own.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The only thing loved ones can do for an addicted family member is to bring to their attention the fact that there is a problem.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is normal to worry about the parent’s potential reaction. Children might fear their parents getting angry, making a scene, or even getting violent. It is normal to worry that they might move out or just drink more and more. These things have happened to others—but they don’t necessarily happen to everyone.</span></p>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is a good idea to follow a few general guidelines to increase the chances of success when staging an intervention. These guidelines can help improve the outcome of any conversation with the parent in question. Unless violence is a concern, the risks of having this intervention are far outweighed by the potential benefits.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the parent has a tendency to be violent, do not initiate the conversation alone—always have someone to act as a buffer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Only initiate the conversation when the parent is sober. Both parties need to be sober for the intervention. Make sure to highlight that this is being done out of concern and love. Continually emphasize that this intervention is for their well-being.</span></p></div>

<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a rule, always speak from an individual perspective rather than a general perspective. The children should focus on how the problem is affecting and hurting them. To make sure that the parent does not feel cornered and get defensive, make sure that it is a two-way conversation. A good way to do this is to ask questions. When speaking to the parent, always stay on the main point. Do not get side-tracked by speculations and judgment.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The goal is to open them up to the possibility of seeking proper medical treatment. If they feel cornered or betrayed, they might withdraw even further from their loved ones. If they deny that there is a problem, try to get them to agree to have another conversation in the future.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When staging an intervention, it is best to hire a professional in order to get the best results. An interventionist is trained to facilitate this type of conversation. If a parent refuses help, then there aren’t a lot of options available. For underage children whose parents are physically abusing or neglecting them, they need to report it to a family member, a school official, or a law enforcement official.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other professionals such as interventionists, medical professionals, and therapists can help alcoholic individuals see the light. Find a treatment expert who can help discuss various treatment options.</span></p></div>

A quick internet search can give the contact details and websites of the many online resources and support groups out there. It is easy to find nearby rehab facilities, medical experts, etc. Contacting a mental health professional may also be greatly beneficial. Psychiatrists, therapists, and social workers may be able to help children of alcoholics to cope with their feelings and improve their mental state.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If someone in the family is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, it is important to seek help. A combination of medical detox and behavioral therapy can go a long way in the fight against substance abuse. But because every individual is affected by addiction differently, a comprehensive program tailored to their specific needs is necessary. Look for a nearby addiction treatment facility today and find out how drug treatment programs work.</span></p></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aside from drugs, alcohol is another substance that can greatly affect a person in negative ways. There have been a lot of cases also that <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/category/alcohol/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alcoholism has become a problem</a> to the people in the society. In fact, even in the world of entertainment, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear artists being alcoholic. Many celebrities had their own share of dilemma when it comes to drugs and alcohol addiction.</p>
<p>Following the issue on Demi Lovato’s overdose, the team of Britney Spears is strictly banning any alcoholic substance on her tour. This is because she too had her share of struggle with alcohol. Too much consumption of alcohol can affect the mind of a person which can lead him or her to do things he or she would not normally do. Alcoholism can lead to different crimes that can put people’s life in danger. This is why there are <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/nevada/las-vegas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alcohol recovery programs</a> available to help alcoholics and to prevent any unfortunate things from happening as a result of too much alcohol consumption.</p>

<p><em>While Demi Lovato’s upcoming live dates have been canceled following the star’s relapse and suspected overdose on Tuesday, Page Six has learned that Britney Spears’ team has been taking no chances backstage on her current tour by strictly banning booze.</em></p>
<p><em>A source told us that at Spears’ Radio City Music Hall shows Monday and Tuesday, “Britney’s team set strict guidelines that no alcohol at all could be served backstage, because they want to keep it away from her, and also many of her dancers are underage.”</em></p>
<p><em>The source added, “Apparently this is the policy throughout her tour.”</em></p>
<p><em>It was reported before the tour kicked off that Spears would also have “advance people” removing any alcohol from hotel rooms where she’d stay, and that her team would “ensure no shady characters get anywhere near her,” reported column Straight Shuter.</em></p>
<p><em>Spears reportedly has been sober for some time, after an infamous 2007 public breakdown. A source told Page Six last year of the performer, “She’s in a Britney bubble. She’s healthy; she just celebrated another year of sobriety.”</em></p>
<p><em>There have been reports this year that a successful summer tour, including the Radio City gigs, could bring her a step closer to ending the conservatorship that father Jamie Spears has over her…</em></p><p>The post <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/britney-spears-team-keeping-her-away-from-alcohol/">Britney Spears’ team keeping her away from alcohol</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me">Rehab Near Me: The Best Addiction Treatment Centers</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is said that approximately 18 million adults in the US are struggling with alcohol use disorder. Based on this statistic, one in 12 individuals is an alcoholic. No matter how accurate that statistic is, there’s no denying that alcoholism is a major problem in the country—and in many other parts of the world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Around 100,000 people die each year due to alcohol abuse. These deaths are due to liver cirrhosis and organ damage. Heavy drinkers are at risk of diabetes, kidney disease, and several cancers. Drunk driving is also a common cause of traffic accidents.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholic-definition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alcohol use disorder is a serious disease</a> that’s often described as the addiction to alcohol. It’s a chronic condition that affects the reward and motivation centers of the brain. For this reason, it is important to know what causes alcoholism, and why it affects certain people.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this article, we will discuss the connection between genetics, heredity, and alcohol consumption. What makes drinkers more likely to get addicted? Let’s find out.</span></p>
<h2 id="alcoholism_genetics_and_heredity"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism, Genetics, and Heredity</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29211" src="https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Is-Alcoholism-Hereditary-2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Is-Alcoholism-Hereditary-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Is-Alcoholism-Hereditary-2.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />Parents pass their genes down to their children. This is what connects genetics to heredity. However, if we want to get technical, genetic diseases and hereditary diseases are not actually the same. Genetic diseases involve abnormalities in a person’s genome. Hereditary diseases are caused by a genetic mutation received from a parent’s DNA.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is why scientists often question whether alcoholism is a genetic or hereditary disease. We can say that it’s a bit of both.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Genetics certainly play a key role in someone’s predisposition when it comes to metabolizing alcohol. If your body processes alcohol in a way that makes the desirable effects more prominent than the adverse side effects, then you are more likely to suffer from alcohol use disorder. Contrast that with someone who experiences it the other way around—their genetics prevent them from enjoying alcohol as much.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Heredity also plays a role in developing alcoholism. Children of alcoholics have an increased chance of struggling with alcohol abuse later in life. Family history of alcoholism has been statistically linked to the increased risk of alcohol use disorder. While this may or may not have something to do with genes being passed from the parents to their children, environment surely has something to do with it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interestingly, having extended relatives who are struggling with alcohol abuse does not have the same effect on children as having alcoholic parents. Children of alcoholic parents have a three to four times <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholism-treatment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">greater risk of becoming alcoholic</a> themselves.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dGfE85xHHxE" width="650" height="400" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span>https://www.rehabnear.me for the best drug addiction treatment center</iframe></p>
<h3 id="other_causes_of_alcoholism"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other Causes of Alcoholism</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although these factors can explain why some people are more likely to become alcoholic compared to others, there are other potential causes of alcohol use disorder. And just because you “have it in your genes” doesn’t mean you are doomed to an ill fate. <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/iowa" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Controlling your alcohol intake</a> is one way to avoid it. Here are other common causes of alcoholism.</span></p>
<p><b>Environment:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> We mentioned this earlier, but if you live in an environment wherein people drink frequently, you are more likely to do so yourself. This only increases your chances of getting hooked on alcohol.</span></p>
<p><b>Gender:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Men typically drink more than women. In recent years, however, women are beginning to drink more frequently.</span></p>
<p>[maxbutton id=”3″ ]</p>
<p><b>Drinking Age:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> People who started drinking earlier are more likely to develop alcohol use disorder. This may also be due to the fact that they can develop tolerance at a much younger age.</span></p>
<p><b>Mental Health:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Psychiatric conditions such as depression, ADHD, and anxiety could cause a person to drink more frequently. That is because people who suffer from these conditions are likely to “self-medicate” and use alcohol to escape their problems.</span></p>
<p><b>Stress:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Speaking of escaping one’s problems, alcohol is usually used that way. It helps you forget your problems for a while—not that it’s a good solution for anything.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism is hard to beat, but it’s certainly possible with the help of medical experts and therapists. Look for an alcohol <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/florida/mount-pleasant/meperidine.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">addiction facility near you today</a>!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism is a serious medical disease. But because of the fact that drinking alcohol is a very common social activity, it can be hard to determine who’s abusing alcohol and who’s just having a great time. Not to mention that there are also high functioning alcoholics—the whole thing just gets more and more confusing.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So how do you know if someone is an alcoholic? Here are the <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/difference-of-an-alcoholic-from-social-drinkers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">signs and symptoms you should look out for</a>. Watch out for these, especially if you think one of your loved ones is an alcoholic.</span></p>
<h2 id="signs_of_intoxication"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Signs of Intoxication</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just because someone is intoxicated, doesn’t automatically mean they are an alcoholic. Overconsumption of alcohol can lead to intoxication—but not all people who black out after binging are alcoholics.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The signs of overconsumption are easily recognizable: slurred speech, clumsiness, delayed reflexes, facial redness, vomiting, and blacking out.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29224" src="https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Signs-and-Symptoms-of-Alcoholism-2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Signs-and-Symptoms-of-Alcoholism-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Signs-and-Symptoms-of-Alcoholism-2.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now consider this: even if you are not an alcoholic, it is possible to reach a life threatening level of intoxication. The respiratory system can become depressed, and the person will stop breathing.</span></p>
<h3 id="signs_of_alcoholism"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Signs of Alcoholism</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can tell that a person is alcoholic if they can no longer control their intake. They will drink alone, or in the middle of the day. They don’t know how much is too much. And they will try to drink all of their problems away—on a daily basis. Every single thing that stresses them out will be managed by drinking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/what-to-know-about-alcoholism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alcoholism doesn’t happen overnight</a>. It happens with increased frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption. Someone who is abusing alcohol will make it a central activity of their life. It can displace healthy relationships. They will even lose interest in hobbies that used to make them happy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">They may begin prioritizing alcohol over their professional obligations and family responsibilities.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An alcoholic is more likely to indulge in dangerous and illegal behaviors. They may get in trouble with the law, or get into an accident.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8jl-o89Z8j8" width="650" height="400" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span>https://www.rehabnear.me for the best drug addiction treatment center</iframe></p>
<h3 id=""signs_of_alcohol_dependence"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Signs of Alcohol Dependence</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Untreated alcohol abuse can eventually lead to addiction. Long term abuse of alcoholic drinks can make a person dependent. When a person is physically dependent on alcohol, it means that their body has already adapted to the substance’s presence. Removing the substance from the system will cause a violent reaction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At this point, the person will have little control over the amount they consume. Obtaining and consuming alcohol will become the predominant focus of their life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their tolerance will increase, and so they will begin to feel like they need to drink even more. They will repeatedly attempt to reduce their alcohol consumption—and they will repeatedly fail due to withdrawal symptoms and intense cravings. Alcohol abuse will develop into addiction.</span></p>
<h3 id="signs_of_withdrawal"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Signs of Withdrawal</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Attempting to quit on their own may cause severe withdrawal symptoms. It puts them at risk of serious medical consequences. They need proper medical supervision during the detox process if they want to drop their drinking habits safely.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Common withdrawal symptoms associated with alcoholism are tremors, convulsions, anxiety, seizures, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, and hallucinations.</span></p>
<p>[maxbutton id=”2″ ]</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism can cause irreversible damage to critical organs in the body such as the liver, the heart, the stomach, and the brain.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/functional-alcoholic-getting-sober/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">An intervention can go a long way</a> in making the person realize that they have a drinking problem. They should see that their drinking habits are affecting their loved ones too. As difficult as it may seem, alcoholism can be beaten, and they can get sober again. You just have to support them all the way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look for an alcohol addiction treatment center near you today.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having an alcoholic family member is difficult. It is perhaps not as difficult as struggling with alcoholism yourself, but it is nonetheless emotionally taxing. But some people have <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/living-with-an-alcoholic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">loved ones who are functional alcoholics</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This does not make their situation any better. We can say that functional alcoholics may not be suffering financially because they are able to hold down a job. We can also say that there isn’t much effect on their relationships because they can maintain friendships. They may not be suffering as much as a regular alcoholic. But it does not hide the fact that their health and body is in danger.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-29227" src="https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Living-with-a-Functional-Alcoholic-1-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Living-with-a-Functional-Alcoholic-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.rehabnear.me/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Living-with-a-Functional-Alcoholic-1.jpg 750w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having a high functioning alcoholic in the family is even more difficult because their condition is confusing for most people. Alcoholism can take a devastating toll on their health—and yet they won’t even admit that they have a problem. They don’t know that their problem is serious. They may not even realize that they have a drinking problem. But over time, they can develop serious psychological and emotional damage.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And yet we must treat their condition with as much care as a regular alcoholic. We need to help them address this problem now. But how do we do it?</span></p>
<h2 id="how_to_help_a_high_functioning_alcoholic"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How to Help a High Functioning Alcoholic</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first step is understanding their condition. Alcoholism is a disease, regardless of how functional an individual is. But when we think about alcoholism, we picture someone whose life is in ruins because of their drinking habits. It’s important to see the other side of the coin: the alcoholic who isn’t struggling as much to get their life together—but drinks excessively nonetheless.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, 20 percent of all <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholism-treatment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">alcoholics can be classified as functional</a>. This is not as uncommon as you think.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A person who cannot control their drinking and doesn’t know when to stop is probably an alcoholic. They will drink in the middle of the day. The will drink alone. They will even try to hide their drinking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Their success and functionality may even give them the illusion that they are not alcoholic. It may convince them that they have their drinking under control, when it’s not the case.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7gGeggbk9xM" width="650" height="400" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span>https://www.rehabnear.me for the best drug addiction treatment center</iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Understand what your loved one is going through. You have to know that there are people who don’t fall into the stereotype of the alcoholics we see on TV (and in real life). This does not mean they are not destroying their body with alcohol. The effects of alcoholism will eventually catch up with them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do not enable their behavior, and do not tolerate bad decisions. It can be frustrating to help them, but you need to play an active role in building a healthier future for them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can begin an intervention. You can gather their friends, family members and loved ones, and allow them to realize that their drinking habits have become a problem. You need to let them understand the consequences of drinking—even when they don’t see it yet.</span></p>
<p>[maxbutton id=”3″ ]</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Convince them to <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholic-definition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">seek help for alcohol abuse</a> and set the ground rules and consequences if they refuse to do so. A person who has been drinking for a long time may have already developed dependence, meaning quitting abruptly may cause withdrawal. This is why they need to detoxify under the supervision of medical professionals.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An intervention typically involves getting the alcoholic to see how drinking has harmed their loved ones, as well as themselves. Present a plan for recovery so they won’t feel so hopeless about the situation. With your support, they can get through this challenge in no time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Look for an alcohol addiction treatment facility near you today and help your loved one get on the path to sobriety.</span></p>

But in the long run, they will only feel worse—if they abuse alcohol and get addicted, especially. For starters, alcohol slows down activity in the central nervous system, causing stress in chronic drinkers. That’s only the beginning of its long list of adverse effects.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholics think that their behavior only affects them. What they don’t realize is that they also affect their loved ones, their friends, their co-workers, and even the community around them. Alcoholism even has an impact on the economy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Did you know that alcohol abuse and misuse cost the United States over 220 billion dollars every year? This covers medical costs, as well as property damage caused by drunk driving, among other public expenditures.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If we look at it on an individual scale, <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/living-with-an-alcoholic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">an alcoholic can spend thousands of dollars per year</a> on alcoholic drinks. It’s no surprise that they easily find themselves with financial problems.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are some of the facts you need to know about alcoholism. And there are plenty of other things you need to know about this condition. By understanding it thoroughly, we can begin to face one of society’s biggest problems.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UtFZNRqNKlA" width="650" height="400" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">https://www.rehabnear.me for the best drug addiction treatment center<span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span><span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start"></span></iframe></p>
<h2 id="facts_about_alcoholism"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Facts about Alcoholism</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism is a very common problem. In fact, alcohol is the most commonly abused drug in the US. According to the National Institutes of Health, 7.2 percent of American adults have an alcohol use disorder. This represents more than 27 million people.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism also affects men more than women. It is theorized that men receive a higher dopamine release in their brain while drinking, which makes it more pleasurable for them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But what exactly is alcoholism? And how is it different from a night of heavy drinking with friends? Binge drinkers are not alcoholics. The term alcoholic is used for <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/guide-to-overcome-addiction/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">those who have developed physical dependence</a> on alcoholic substances.</span></p>
<h3 id="causes_of_alcoholism"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Causes of Alcoholism</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism can be caused by a lot of things, but it doesn’t just pop out of nowhere. People don’t just become alcoholics after one drink. It’s progressive, meaning it develops over time. If a person continuously abuses large doses of alcohol, then they will eventually become dependent.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It has a genetic component to it too: if you have an alcoholic parent or grandparent, you are four times more likely to develop alcoholism. This is also related to the fact that a person’s environments can affect their future drinking habits.</span></p>
<p>[maxbutton id=”3″ ]</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes it’s just peer pressure. While the genetic cause is definitely true, there’s a social aspect to it too. A third of Americans aged 21 and above completely abstains from alcohol use. If your friends drink large amounts all the time, there’s a chance you’re not part of that percentage.</span></p>
<h3 id="effects_of_alcoholism"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Effects of Alcoholism</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you develop dependence, then you won’t be able to quit drinking without going through withdrawal. And if you’ve been drinking for a long time, you should know that withdrawal symptoms can be fatal. It’s not wise to quit alcohol abruptly. It should be done with the aid of medical professionals, who can lower your intake gradually, over a period of time. That’s how detox works in rehab. And in most cases, rehab is necessary to one’s recovery/</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Common physical symptoms of withdrawal include high fever and tremors. Over 88,000 people lose their lives due to alcohol each year—and that’s only in the US. Do not be a part of this statistic. Drink responsibly.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But if you ever get addicted, don’t hesitate to <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/florida/mount-pleasant/ketamine.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">seek help from medical professionals</a>. It would be much safer that way.</span></p>

<p data-kiosked-context-name=""><em>ROD Butterss has sensationally detailed how his time as president of St Kilda was fuelled by alcohol and cocaine.</em></p>
</div>
<p><em>The former high-flying businessman revealed he made key decisions while affected by intoxicants, including around the time of the hiring and firing of AFL legend Malcolm Blight as coach in 2000-01.</em></p>
<p><em>He told Channel 9’s The Footy Show he had never seen cocaine until he joined St Kilda.</em></p>
<p><em>“(AFL is) a party environment after dark, there’s a lot of drugs,” Butterss, 58, said.</em></p>
<p><em>“A lot of drugs. A lot of alcohol, a lot of gambling.”</em></p>
<p><em>Butterss revealed he was an alcoholic and that after being forced out as Saints president following seven years at the top in 2007, he was broken and drank daily for three to four years “to soothe that pain, that emotional pain”.</em></p>
<p><em>“I drank, and I drank at every opportunity, and the dominoes started to fall a little quicker.”</em></p>

<i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even before civilization, people have already been creating alcoholic beverages through brewing and fermenting. Drinking alcoholic drinks has been perceived as an activity that is able to provide a relaxing sensation and even strengthening the heart. Excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages, however, is not beneficial because the effect is similar to how drugs poison the body. Around 18 million people in the U.S., or for every 1 of 12 adults, drink alcohol excessively and are considered chronic alcoholics. </span></i></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Due to excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages, around 100,000 Americans die from it each year.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The activity has been associated with the factors that lead to cases of homicides, traffic accidents, and suicides. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many social problems arise from <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholism-definition-overview-dependency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alcohol abuse</a> like habitual absence from work and crimes against people who cannot pay their bills and debts. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Domestic problems also arise when there is <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/symptoms-alcoholism-detect-alcoholic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">excessive drinking of alcohol</a> in either of the heads of the family; most often leads to cases of violence against women and children.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HPLJuyULAZ8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">https://www.rehabnear.me is the best alcohol addiction treatment center</iframe></p>
<h2><b>From mild mood swings to complete loss of body coordination, difficulty in speaking, and a problem with balance– these are all physical effects of severe alcohol consumption. </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If a person decides to stop drinking alcoholic beverages, in a matter of hours the effects may start to wear off gradually. To consider a person intoxicated, law enforcers should detect at least 0.08 percent of alcohol in the bloodstream. Remember, excessive alcohol present in the bloodstream can cause a person to have issues mainly in cognition and may progressively lead to unconsciousness. Alcohol poisoning, as the condition is often described, can be extremely fatal. </span></p>
<h2 id="the_signs_of_alcohol_intoxication_cannot_be_easily_observed"><b>The signs of alcohol intoxication cannot be easily observed. </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism can be categorized by constantly increasing cravings, increasing alcohol tolerance, and diminishing self- control. Excessive drinking may also result in problems related to physical medical conditions, even with those who are considered highly functioning. One of the most common diseases that an excessive drinker <a href="https://www.rehabnear.me/non-alcoholic-drinks-fine-recovering-alcoholics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">may develop is liver cirrhosis</a> wherein alcohol scars the liver.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other resulting risks can be depression, gastrointestinal bleeding, a disease in the pancreas, increase in blood pressure, congestive heart failure, numbness of the lower limbs accompanied by tingling sensation, and changes in the functions of the brain. Alcoholism may also increase your chances of having chronic gastritis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis.</span></p>
<h2 id="for_men_alcoholism_can_lead_them_to_impotence"><b>For men, alcoholism can lead them to impotence. </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For pregnant women, there may be physical damages to the fetus. Other not so common diseases include cancers of the larynx, esophagus, pancreas, liver, stomach, breast, and bleeding of the upper part of the stomach. Heavy drinkers may also have nutritional deficiencies due to their improper and unhealthy diets. For every one in five heavy drinkers, impaired liver functions have been recorded. </span></p>
<h2 id="alcohol_substance_is_a_necessary_action_to_combat_cravings"><b>Alcohol abstinence is a necessary action to combat cravings.</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholics do not usually admit even to themselves that they have an addiction to alcohol. Remember that chronic alcoholism is considered a disease that can afflict anyone and not only the addicted individuals. However, it has become more acceptable in the society that young people binge drink on alcohol. Eventually, an activity with friends will progress to drinking solitary. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The progression of alcoholism is still dependent on genetics, psychological, societal, physical, and environmental factors. Generally, however, it varies to each and every individual. If the individual grew up with an alcoholic parent around, his chance of becoming an alcoholic is four times greater.</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is an important topic that sparks debate among alcoholics and those who are trying to recover from alcoholism. Society is actually having mixed reactions to this; can recovering alcoholics have it?</span></i></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Non-alcoholic beer, sometimes called low alcohol beer, low beer, NA beer, small beer or near beer contrary to what it suggests, actually contains alcohol. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In order to be considered a “non-alcoholic” drink, these kinds of beers need to go below 0.5% alcohol per volume. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="http://www.rehabnear.me/non-alcoholic-beer-made/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The process of making non-alcoholic</a> beer starts with real alcohol that is filtered or boiled in the brewing process. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">In many states in the United Stated, the sale of non-alcoholic beer has been permitted for minors. </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of psychological effects, there are those that believe that non-alcoholic beer is able to dangerously ignite a placebo effect and make you feel as you though you are truly drunk. Because of this, it really is possible to bring back old habits and desires by drinking non-alcoholic beer.</span></p>
<h2 id="research_tells_us_that_a_lot_of_12_step_programs_are_against_the_consumption_of_non_alcoholic_drinks"><b>Research tells us that a lot of 12-step programs are against the consumption of non-alcoholic drinks. </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These kinds of therapies reveal that it is actually a slippery slope, while further noting that the mere presence of something like alcohol may be enough for the mind <a href="http://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholic-root-beer-brewed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">to crave alcohol</a> once more. In an instant, it can cause a relapse. There are those that also suggest that the act of pretending that what you are drinking is alcohol is like romanticizing what you have, which can really be dangerous. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Romanticizing can lead a recovering alcoholic to remember moments when alcohol seemed to work and they are reminded of the good times of getting drunk. Most likely, alcoholics drink non-alcoholic beers to reminisce the good old days and this is what romanticizing drinks allow. If you just put your determination in building a good life far from the presence of anything that contains alcohol, eventually you will know that you do not actually need these pretend beers.</span></p>
<h2 id="fake_beer_containing_a_bit_of_alcohol_is_possibly_dangerous"><b>Fake beer containing a bit of alcohol is possibly dangerous</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, there are opinions that contradict this idea. According to some, an occasional non-alcoholic beer and even cocktails would not do any harm to the recovering alcoholic. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It may not be satisfying to reach out for a glass of sparkling water and drinking it from a wine glass, but adding a lime can do the trick. To people who are in the early days of sobriety, this kind of drink may be a necessity. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The decision to <a href="http://www.rehabnear.me/non-alcohol-wines-good-bring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">drink non-alcoholic cocktails</a> is really a personal choice; you already know what is at stake. While non-alcoholic beer may be one of the ways for you to not feel out of place when out with friends for a dinner, at a social gathering or unwinding after a long day at work, you should never attempt to binge drink. Don’t get yourself trashed for real.</span></p>

</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism, like many other things, is a disease that can get worse over a period of time. For instance, alcoholics may experience intensified cravings for the substance so they are compelled to drink in spite of all the alcohol-related problems that they are experiencing like getting trouble in school, being involved in illegal matters, losing a job, and wrecking relationships.</span></i></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Statistics show that in around 15% of drinkers, 1 out of 7 is most likely to develop alcohol dependence that or an <a href="http://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholism-help-home-detox-possible-option/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">alcohol abuse problem</a>.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Young people who start to drink alcohol before the age of 15 are also four times more likely to incur alcohol dependence compared to those that had their first encounter with alcohol at 21. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Over 43 percent of the youth population, who started drinking before the age of 14, are most certain to become alcoholics later in life.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism is a disease that is affecting a lot more people than heart attacks, breast cancer, lung cancer, and diabetes. </span></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="it_has_become_a_disease_that_is_as_common_as_high_blood_pressure_or_hypertension"><b>It has become a disease that is as common as high blood pressure or hypertension. </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Researchers have discovered 4 basic symptoms of the disease and these symptoms can appear anytime and in any order in a drinker’s life. One of the <a href="http://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholism-definition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">symptoms of alcoholism</a> is craving, which is characterized by the strong need to drink. Another symptom is impaired control or the drinker’s total inability to put a limit on his drinking habits despite knowing the many dangers that come with alcohol consumption. Physical dependence is another symptom, where the drinker tries to stop the use of alcohol even just for a short time, but will almost immediately begin to experience withdrawal symptoms. The side effects of withdrawal include anxiety, shakiness, sweating and nausea. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alcoholism is also known to develop to tolerance or the need to increase the amounts of the substance used so that the same effects will be felt. More importantly, alcoholism can lead to permanent changes in your brain that can lead to physical discomfort when you choose to go without alcohol.</span></p>
<h2 id="alcoholism_can_happen_to_just_about_anyone"><b>Alcoholism can happen to just about anyone. </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are cases when the history of an alcoholic is traced back from a non-drinking family. However, alcoholism has been discovered to be genetically founded. If you have alcoholic parents, for example, some genetic factors may be pointed to developing an alcoholic problem. There are others, moreover, who are driven into alcoholism due to environmental factors such as pressure, extreme stress, as well as the ease of access to alcohol. These factors make the disease more likely to happen.</span></p>
<h2 id="alcoholism_appears_to_be_triggered_by_a_range_of_factors"><b>Alcoholism appears to be triggered by a range of factors. </b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While more research needs to be conducted in order to discover the relationship and the strength of the influence of genes and the environment on the disease, it is possible that environmental influences would be as important as the influence of genetics.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is likely that what children of alcoholic parents have in their genes is not the disease itself, but the great vulnerability to incur the disease. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The series of research being done concerning the link between alcoholism and genetics is expected to help the potential to incur the disease in high-risk people make sense and how to help them during the early stage of development. Genetic research is also expected to help in the development of new treatments for problems related to alcohol. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember that it does not mean that all children with at least one alcoholic parent will be alcoholics or that those who come from non-alcoholic backgrounds are <a href="http://www.rehabnear.me/alcoholic-years-now-best-time-stop/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">safe from alcoholism</a>. Research only aims to help determine why children whose parents suffer from alcoholism are more vulnerable to develop the disease.</span></p>
