Suntou, I have seen your query here. I was tempted to chime in but since I am not a medical doctor or an epidemeologist, I share a link that can offer some answers. I have not read this link but I'm sure whatever was said there was shared by competent practitioners. Here it is: _http://www.revolutionhealth.com/conditions/addiction/alcoholism-alcohol-addiction/?s_kwcid=is%20alcoholism%20a%20di sease|853822614_ (http://www.revolutionhealth.com/conditions/addiction/alcoholism-alcohol-addiction/?s_kwcid=is%20alcoholism%20a%20disease|853822614) Enjoy. I would try to read all that is provided on the subject there and other links shared there on the same topic. Take care. Haroun Rashid. MJDT. Darbo. AL Mutawakkil.
