Exploring the Biological Genetic Factors Contributing to Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol addiction, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic condition characterized by an inability to control or reduce alcohol consumption despite negative consequences. It is crucial to differentiate between casual alcohol use and alcohol use disorder. While many individuals consume alcohol responsibly, for some, this behavior escalates into a compulsive condition where drinking becomes a primary focus of their lives, affecting personal relationships, employment, and overall well-being.
