3. NO DEFINITE CAUSE OF ALCOHOLISM, BUT THERE ARE
FACTORS THAT MAY PLAY A ROLE IN ITS DEVELOPMENT:
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. ....

predisposition to fall into alcoholism.
- This does not justify all cases.

develop a fondness for a drink when a
young man sees that the people
around him were usually.
- Alcohol is the drug more used.

important moments of life.

depression caused by diferent causes, such as a family
feud, abandonment by parents and/or children, as well
as problems at work, studies or with your partner.

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.
7. WHY JOUNG DRUNK
• 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..
• psycho-
physical activity (joy, elation, overcomin
g shyness
and withdrawal, moodimprovement,
etc..), public entertainment and
integration within the group of friends
