My dad is an alcoholic. Can alcoholism be genetic?
I am 18 and have recently begun to heavily feel the pressures of drinking. I have never consumed alcohol because I have witnessed what it has done to my dad throughout my childhood.I am terrified of being an alcoholc so I have always avoided drinking. If I were to start drinking is it true that I can become an alcoholic just like my dad? Is it in my genes? I would like to be able to drink every once in awhile for the social aspect, but I do not want to try it and then become addicted.Thanks.
Why is alcoholism considered a disease?
I really don't see how it can be classified as a disease. It has the criteria to be an official disease, but I see it as an addiction. People who are addicted to alcohol suffer from alcoholism. But how come people who are addicted to cigarettes aren't given the label of suffering from a disease? Same thing with any other drug. Meth too. I could be addicted to meth alot more than someone addicted to alcohol, and yet I wouldn't be suffering from a disease. Doesn't make sense.It seems more like a choice. I'll read excerpts from books and some say that they don't have a choice to stop drinking. But I think they do. No one forced my mom to go to bars every night after work and get shit drunk, and not come home for days at a time. No one took a beer can a shoved it into her mouth forcing her to drink. I know that alcoholism can run in families, but I don't want to say genetic because I'm not sure whether or not it has been proven. But everyone on my mom's side are alcoholics, and my great aunt my mom's aunt who participated in the olympics is drinking herself to death.My father is an alcoholic too. He got help once or twice and when we moved out of state he just stopped drinking. But I remember when me and my older sister was little he would hit us hard with the belt if we pissed him off. He wasn't drunk every time he did it, but I know people who drink tend to be alot more aggressive than people who don't. But he had the choice to grab a beer for the last time, and he left it alone.I'm 17 now, and I suffer from depression and I take medication for it and anxiety. I constantly pick my skin. Lately I've moved to the dry skin on the sides of my fingernails and my middle fingers are really sore because I made them bleed. The cuticles are completely gone too. When my mom started drinking heavily and staying out all night I was 10 I would pull out my hair and eventually got a bald spot, and when the hair started to grow back I would pluck it back out. Could these have anything to do with my opinion on alcoholism? I really want to understand. I've been living with it my whole life and I just want to understand it before I make a wrong decision when I'm older. I don't want the life my mom has now.
Apart from alcoholism is there any physical condition which produces a consistently florid complexion?
My question is prompted by a phenomenon among very holy people within the Catholic Church referred to as ' the color of sanctity.' It seems to be an unmistakably accurate designation. Observing this quality in an individual is both moving and inspiring. Among clergy one might stretch the imagination to attribute the phenomen to overmuch wine. But occasionally it is also seen among Protestant devouts who do not use wine in their ritual. In pondering the anomaly, I have considered physical effects of complete chastity. Yet, Protestant ministers are not under this obligation.Too, some of the most striking examples in my experience have been nuns, who, of course, have no opportunity for abusing alcohol. These very fine folk seem literally to glow from within, and invariably command deep respect and wonder.The Best Answer to this question seems to bar a medical explanation. The skin quality of these individuals in typically smooth and Dresden like.
If I only drink one glass of wine a night but I am alone and it is with dinner, is that alcoholism?
they say if you drink alone the that is a sign, but I like to open a bottle of red wine and have a glass or sometimes 2 or 3 while I eat dinner and watch a movie by myself. Why must someone be with me in the room if I am still going to drink the same amount if they are there or not for it to be acceptable?
