On T.V an actor called it a disease, I dunno about that a lot of ppl use it to feel good and to drown problems. I can see depresision as one, but that like saying cutting is a disease/illness.

By medical definition it is a disease. It is a complusion to drink alcohol, not just doing it to drown emotions or anything. When you reach the dipsomania stage you are fixated with alcohol and CANNOT bare to go a day without drinking - you feel like it's utterly impossible, and you fail to see the negative effects it can have on you.

Ehh. I don't look at it as a disease but I suppose it kind of is.

meh, It felt un-nerving him calling it one. I mean I wish all it took was willpower or a clinic for detox for me to get rid of cystic fibrosis.

As I said, I don't think of it that way but for someone to be that addicted to something surely there is something mentally wrong with them.

alcoholism is a disease. its hereditary. its genetic. passed down from parent to child
no, in narcotics anonymous we call addiction (and alcholosim) the disease. its not a literal term its our creative way of not calling it addiction every five seconds. and it is a disease if you think about it. it takes time out of your life, and makes you feel sick.

you may be the smartest person here actually going by definition and fact rather than opinion
I would not call alcoholism a disease, but I would most definitely call it an addiction.

The opinion of society is often what dictates what currently is fact and what isn't.
You know like the earth is flat deal. By definition maybe, but I wouldn't like to agree it is.

My grandfathet likes to drink and so does my dad. But I don't, and they drink sparingly no alcoholics.
