　　Alcoholism is a serious disease. Nearlynine million Americans alone suffer from the illness.Many scientists disagreeabout what the differences are between the alcohol addict and socialdrinker.The difference occurs when someone needs to drink. And this need gets in theway ofhis health or behavior. Alcohol causes a loss of judgment and alertness.After a long period,alcoholism can deteriorate the liver, the brain and otherparts of the body. The illness isdangerous, because it is involved in half ofall automobile accidents. Another problem is that thevictim often denies beingan alcohol addict and wont get help. Solutions do exist. Manyhospitals andcenters help patients cope. Without the assistance, the victim can destroy hislife.He would detach himself from the routines of life. He may lose hisemployment, home or lovedones.

　　All the causes of the sickness are notdiscovered yet. There is no standard for a person withalcoholism. Victimsrange in age, race, sex and background. Some groups of people aremorevulnerable to the illness. People from broken homes and North American Indiansare twoexamples. People from broken homes often lack stable lives. Indianslikewise had the traditionallife taken from them by white settlers who oftenencourage them to consume alcohol toprevent them from fighting back. The problemhas now been passed on. Alcoholism is clearlypresent in society today. Peoplehave started to get help and information. With properassistance, victims canput their lives together one day.
