10-15% of drinkers will become alcoholic. Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is not an addictive drug. Only a small percentage of drinkers will develop a physiological dependency on alcohol.
Many reputable studies indicate that individuals with an alcoholism problem that abstain from alcohol completely do get better in their cognitive function and memory; brain scans have indicated that in many instances, their brains can begin to return to normal over time.
When an individual has been binge drinking, a withdrawal syndrome can take place that includes symptoms such as an upset stomach, insomnia, headache, and an electrolyte balance, which can make a person feel sick.
Many times, family members and friends may feel obligated to cover for the person with the drinking problem; in many of these instances, they may take on the burden of cleaning up their messes or begin to lie and make excuses for the alcoholic; pretending that nothing is wrong and constantly hiding away all of their fears and resentments can take an enormous emotional toll on loved ones.
