Alcoholism is the popular term for the disorder recognized as alcohol dependence. The hallmarks of this disorder are addiction to alcohol, inability to stop drinking, and repeated interpersonal, school or work-related problems that can be directly attributed to the use of alcoholic drinks. It can have serious consequences, affecting an person's health and personal life, as well as impacting society widely.
Dependence of alcohol is a complex disorder that includes the social and interpersonal issues mentioned above, and also includes biological elements, as well. The elements are related to tolerance and withdrawal, cognitive problems that include craving, and behavioral abnormalities including the impaired ability to stop drinking. Withdrawal is a term that refers to the symptoms which occurs when an individual dependent on a substance stops taking that substance for a period of time, withdrawal symptoms vary in type and severity depending on the substance, but alcohol withdrawal symptoms can include shaking, irritability and nausea also. Tolerance is a reduced response to the alcohol consumed and can be acute or even chronic. Acute tolerance occurs during a single episode of drinking and is greater when blood alcohol concentration rises. Chronic tolerance occurs over the long period when there is greater resistance to the intoxicating effects of alcohol, and, as a result, the affected person has to drink more to achieve satisfying sensation.

Well according to what i know, the simplest way to explain why people drink is that we wish to alter our mood or try to change our mental state. Alcohol can temporarily alleviate feelings of anxiety and depression or at times more serious mental health problems yes it does. The person forgets nearly everything when he drinks, he kind of feels good. Finally we can say that alcohol alters the chemistry of an individual’s brain, helping him to ease some of his negative feelings.
