Quote:
Alcoholism is a dependency on alcohol characterised by craving (a strong need to drink), loss of control (being unable to stop drinking despite a desire to do so), physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms, and tolerance (increasing difficulty of becoming drunk).
Essentially, the causes for alcohol abuse and dependence cannot be easily explained, but the long-standing, unscientific prejudice that alcoholism is the result of moral or ethical weakness on the part of the sufferer has been largely altered, as a recent poll showed that 90% of Americans currently believe that alcoholism is, in fact, a disease.
Treatments for alcoholism include detoxification programs run by medical institutions. These may involve stays for a number of weeks in specialized wards where drugs may be used to avoid withdrawal symptoms, which in severe cases may lead to death.

SDA, you will see the points that have been highlighted, we are all made up differently and should not frown upon anyone who can not adhere to, what is known to be the norm, I admit that George was given a second chance, but I am lead to believe that this time it was the anti alcohol drugs, and not the alcohol itself that has put him in this life threatening condition
