Alcohol abuse vs alcohol addiction
Alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction are often used interchangeably, but they differ significantly. Alcohol abuse involves excessive drinking despite negative consequences, such as neglecting responsibilities or legal issues. On the other hand, alcohol addiction, or alcoholism, is a chronic disease characterized by a strong craving, loss of control, and physical dependence. Both pose serious health risks, but addiction requires specialized treatment for recovery. #AlcoholAwarenessMonth #alcohol #alcoholism #disorder #addiction #mentalhealth
