CAUSES OF ALCOHOLISM

No definite cause of alcoholism, but there are factors that may play a role in its development. More likely the triggering of an alcohol in people with a family member other than alcohol that do not. There is no known reason, which can be found in genetic or biochemical abnormalities.

Among the psychological factors that lead to alcoholism include: the need for anxiety relief, conflicts in relationships, low self-esteem, etc. ....

Social factors influencing the occurrence of alcoholism are: ease of use of alcohol, social acceptance of alcohol consumption, lifestyles, stress, etc. ....

The incidence of alcohol dependence is increasing. Statistics vary, but approximately 7% of adults in Europe are affected.

As has been said in the preceding paragraphs, the causes of alcoholism are numerous, among which we highlight the following:

INHERITANCE: it seems that there is some genetic predisposition to fall into alcoholism. This does not justify all cases. There are also heavy drinkers whose ancestors have been abstinent or vice versa.

EDUCATION: education seems to play an important legacy in May that the development of alcoholism. The lack of certain patterns in the home can lead to misuse of alcohol. It is more normal for a person to develop a fondness for a drink when a young man sees that the people around him were usually.

AS A WAY TO CONNECT WITH OTHERS: Alcohol is the drug most used. Its use is encouraged in the society continuously. Advertised on television appears related to after lifestyle and happy. Drinking is common in the most important moments of life, most prominent during the celebrations of the year, and so on. This makes the individual feel attracted to this type of drug. For no different from others, may have the urge to drink. It is very difficult requires a personal effort not to drink when most people do. It is ironic as one of the worst drugs there are so socially valued.

PERSONAL PROBLEMS TO OVERCOME: Alcohol is the drug most used. Its use is encouraged in the society continuously. Advertised on television appears related to a freer lifestyle and happy. Drinking is common in the most important moments of life, most prominent during the celebrations of the year, and so on. This makes the individual feel attracted to this type of drug or simply take to permeate the group and not different from others. It is very difficult and requires a personal effort not to drink when most people do. It is ironic as one of the worst drugs there are so socially valued.

Also turn to alcohol to forget their troubles, either by depression caused by different causes, such as a family feud, abandonment by parents and / or children, as well as problems at work, studies or with your partner.

TYPES OF DRINKERS: There are different types of drinkers, we could fall into four different classes:

Moderate Drinker: regular intake of different alcoholic drinks ¾ gallons per day.

Regular Drinker: All social life is centered on alcohol. do not eat for pleasure, but because he apparently brings a sense of security, value or pleasure. At first, the intake is circumstantial, and can stop drinking. Over time, establishing the habit.

Alcohol: characterized by alcohol dependence, both physically and mentally, and the inability to stop or abstain.

WHY   YOUNG   DRUNK ?

Adolescence is a particularly vulnerable moment in the life of a person, being a time of "transition" between the loss of parents as primary educators and the search or the meeting of new figures, desires and feelings. All this also adds a confrontation with a world that is increasingly becoming more complex fare.

For teens, alcohol is a "quitapenas" that will bypass the limits imposed by reality and enter a world that offered better conditions of sensation.

It is possible that in our present culture, alcohol plays some role in this regard to teenagers as "It's been great" to be "drinking alcohol" or for being drunk. On the other hand, the alcohol "loosens the tongue" and "gives encouragement" to "deal" the first game of seduction.

Alcohol is a socially accepted drug, as we have said elsewhere, and this drug would, from the consideration of youth, strength and courage for the first sexual encounters as desired and dreaded. Then, armed with a scenario: a nightclub, a mountain, or into any park or place to do the so-called "bottle" in which to drink in order to, through this act, be in a state of drunkenness or intoxication, feel great and think they are doing things for adults.

In conclusion, WHAT   TO   INDUCE   MAINLY   ALCOCHOL   YOUNG PEOPLE TO USE ?

The most widely shared belief among different groups of adolescents and youth, has to do with the association, in his opinion, between the consumption of alcohol and "positive consequences" that provides. These include, as they indicate an enhancement of psycho-physical activity (joy, elation, overcoming shyness and withdrawal, mood improvement, etc.), public entertainment and integration within the group of friends where the most consume. To the extent that alcohol gives young people a series of effects or positive consequences, and the young are interpreted as a benefit, these effects become the basis of consumption. The youth, as a rule, no alcohol consumption associated with the problems that can bring, they expect positive changes overall alcohol (facilitator of emotional expressiveness, disinhibiting and supportive of social relations, etc.), while not believe that this substance have negative effects, significantly influencing higher consumption during the weekend, where interpersonal relationships are intensified.
