Alcohol addiction has been an ongoing problem in the United States for many years. Millions of Americans struggle with alcohol addiction and even alcoholics who can not afford to eat, still scrape up enough money to buy alcohol daily. Teens and college students have also fallen victim to alcoholism and many binge drink daily during keg parties, socials, and eventful weekends dedicated to drinking. Even common house wives and working men drink daily in hopes of coping with stress that they have in their lives. Alcoholism, as you can see, has affected every kind of person and thanks to the media, its popularity is growing.
Alcoholism does not only affect the addict, but it also affects the addict’s family. When a person decides to turn to alcohol for whatever reason, many times they are never concerned about how it will affect their families. Every year in America, thousands of families are split up because the parent turned to alcohol or the children did and it pushed the parents into sending the children off. In any situation, alcoholism is not good. It can kill innocent people and it takes away people’s abilities to act on their on, making it easier to injure innocent people or themselves unintentionally.
