Alcoholism is the consumption of, or preoccupation with, alcoholic beverages to the extent that this behavior interferes with the drinker's normal personal, family, social, or work life, and may lead to physical, or mental harm.Medline Plus Medical Encyclopedia (May 2006), s.v. "Alcoholism". Retrieved July 3, 2006 from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000944.htm.Encyclopædia Britannica Online (2006), s.v. "Alcoholism". Retrieved July 3, 2006. The resulting chronic use can result in many psychological and physiological disorders. Most medical clinicians consider alcoholism an addiction and a disease influenced by genetic, psychological, and social factors and characterized by compulsive drinking with impaired control, and preoccupation with and use of alcohol despite adverse consequences. However, the disease theory is still controversial and there is disagreement on the issue after 200 years of debate. U.S. Supreme Court decisions, books and scientific journal articles demonstrate this lack of consensus.* * * * * * * * * Article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, by the Joint Committee of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence and the American Society of Addiction Medicine. 1992.* * * * * * * * *
Epidemiology
According to the Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders, 3rd Ed, substance use disorders are the major public health problem facing the United States today. More than 15 million Americans suffer from alcoholism. "The most common substance of abuse/dependence in patients presenting for treatment is alcohol." Satal, Kosten, and Schuckit noted in 1993 that it is likely that individuals will not reach an optimal level of function until substance free for three to six months. Those with the condition are classified by the APA as either actively using alcohol, or being in early or sustained remission. The latter two groups may be further identified as being partial or full depending upon the patient's symptom profile.
The disease hypothesis
Below are arguments for ("pro") and against ("con") alcoholism as a disease. More on [ Alcoholism ]

Cookbook politics: Democrats, Republicans in the kitchen
Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Out on the fringes of the campaign trail, the partisan cookbook is a perennial candidate. Want a cookie? "NOT ONLY do I eat, I also am a Democrat," wrote Frank Sinatra in an intro to 1960's "Many Happy Returns: The Democrats' Cook Book, or How to Cook a G.O.P. Goose" (the sales of which helped buy TV air time for candidates). "Not only should every Democrat own a copy of this book, but he should load up all his or her friends, and even smuggle some copies into Pasadena and other points where the enemy is strong and square."
