Alcohol is one of the most complex substances consumed by people in our society. It’s complexity range from the greatest celebrations - weddings, graduations, birthdays, etc. - to the most tragic forms of addiction, abuse and death. According to a study published by JAMA Psychiatry, alcoholism is on the rise. One of eight American adults are alcoholics.
An article titled Alcohol is a Way of Coping, author Stephen Joseph Ph.D. explains that the fabulous memories produced by alcohol can also translate in physical pain. He states that we use alcohol to numb emotions. As the most common drug used in America, alcohol is the centerpiece in most social events instigating celebration. Numerous articles tell us that not everyone has an addictive personality. As Peg O’Connor Ph.D. states in her article Are We All Addicted to Something, stretching the term addiction runs the risk of trivializing it’s meaning.
