Alcoholism vs. Alcohol Abuse
Alcoholism and alcohol abuse are two different things. Alcoholism consists of a physical and emotional addiction to alcohol. Alcohol abuse is engaging in excessive alcohol consumption, without continual dependence. An alcoholic may feel the need to drink in order to function. Over time, a person's tolerance to alcohol builds, making it necessary to consume more alcohol to feel its effects. Many alcoholics deny their addiction, and may hide it for years.HelpGuide.org: Alcohol Abuse and AlcoholismRisks
Alcoholism is a serious health risk. Excessive drinking may increase a person's risk for some types of cancer, damage to the brain and liver and cause birth defects. Alcoholism can even be fatal.MedlinePlus: AlcoholismSymptoms
