12:48 am	A Spirited Debate about Alcohol Addiction Alcohol addiction seems dependent on a number of factors. Just as all substances can be abused, so can excessive consumption of alcoholic drinks can lead to addiction and dependence. Consumption of fermented and alcoholic beverages has been regarded as harmful and a social evil from time immemorial. Many researchers have postulated that the addiction to alcoholic drinks is the result of one’s genes, rather than on account of their inebriating properties. There are several myths about alcohol being an addiction. Is alcohol addiction really gene-related or is that just a myth? Major part of the misconception has been the result of misleading portrayal of alcohol being an addictive drink. The consistent views on Alcohol addiction touted by people who oppose its consumption have led to falsehood being fostered throughout the society. Given this situation, it is but natural to confuse reality with falsehood which eventually leads to poor choices. Drinking alcoholic beverages moderately may not lead to any kind of addiction. But it would be unfair and inappropriate to force a drink down someone’s throat. A common complaint is that one’s spouse consumes too many alcoholic drinks all the time. It is believed that this is largely dependent on his or her genetic makeup, environment and childhood background. However, one should not carelessly assume that his or her liking for the beverage always lead to Alcohol addiction. And, in case he or she develops a habit of excessive drinking, he or she can always seek professional help. Although the role of genetics is a contentious issue, it is supported by many researchers. It is argued that the chances of a person becoming addicted are higher if he consumes alcoholic drinks for a long period, but this claim is not supported by scientific evidence. On the other hand, there are consumers who indulge in such beverage without showing any behavioral changes. This seems to support the idea that alcohol addiction and behavior patterns are more dependent on individuals. Another fallacy regarding Alcohol addiction is that many believe after being cured of alcohol addiction, former addicts eventually return to its abuse. Some argue that addiction is incurable, and hence, people who have abused alcohol in the past would invariably fall back into the old habit. The fact many overlook is that different people have different levels of susceptibility to alcohol. A number of factors, including genetics, culture and family background, social environment contribute to alcohol addiction. Some researchers support the idea that the brain chemistry of some consumers makes them susceptible to addiction. Perhaps these claims could be proven wrong with advancement in scientific research over the years. The fact remains that there is no agreement among researchers on the topic of alcohol addiction and associated change in behavior. Hence, it is difficult say conclusively that genes or other specific factors play a key role in alcohol addiction. It would safe to say that a number of factors, including social and family background, can have an impact on individuals who consume alcoholic drinks. (Comment on this)
