Alcohol Abuse, Alcoholism and Dependency

Alcohol abuse, also called alcohol misuse is a serious problem. It is a pattern of drinking too much alcohol too often.

Alcoholism is the continued drinking of alcohol despite negative results. Alcohol is addictive, and heavy long-term alcohol use results in many negative health and social consequences. It can damage all the organ systems, but especially affects the brain, heart, liver, pancreas and immune system.

A dependency describes the relationship among activities and specifies the particular order in which they need to be performed. Dependencies arise in every decision making, planning and developing process and are ideally predetermined.
