Alcoholism is a complex disease, which has been misunderstood and stigmatized. According to the American medical association "Alcoholism" is an illness characterized by significant impairment that is directly associated with persistent and excessive use of alcohol. Impairment may involve physiological, psychological or social dysfunction. The two major types of alcohol use disorders are alcohol abuse (problem drinking) and alcohol dependence (alcoholism).Alcohol abuse is an unhealthy pattern of excessive drinking that can lead to alcohol dependence. People who abuse alcohol drink too much or too frequently, but they are not yet physically addicted to alcohol. Nowadays alcohol consumption has become a status symbol and mostly youngsters use it for fun which in turn becomes addiction.
