Alcoholism & Alcohol dependence
people who have a very bad addiction to alcohol so (alcoholics)
People who consume alcohol appear to be less likely than abstainers to develop Parkinson's disease.
Alcoholism is influenced by genetic, psychological, social and environmental factors that have an impact on how it affects your body and behavior. The process of becoming addicted to alcohol occurs gradually, although some people have an abnormal response to alcohol from the time they start drinking.
High tolerance for alcohol is one of the first signs of developing alcoholism. The problem has already begun at that point.
Symptoms of alcoholism include a pattern of drinking, drinking and driving, blacking out, and becoming angry and violent. People affected by alcoholism may continue to drink in spite of others telling them that they may have a problem, heavy involvement in alcohol related activities and smelling of alcohol on a regular basis.

Alcohol is classified as a depressant because it slows (depresses) the actions of and within the body. This confuses many people who think that its classification as a depressant means that alcohol makes people depressed, which it doesn't.
Alcoholism is caused by drinking too much alcohol for too long a period. There is a genetic component that causes some people to become addicted sooner than others. Many people use stress and tension as an excuse to drink, but they do not cause alcoholism.
