It’s normal to hit the bottle a few days a week to unwind, maybe even mix it with a little pot for a relaxing evening. But for alcoholics, alcohol dependency is a real thing, and it ruins lives.

Alcoholism is defined as a state wherein a person needs to consume alcohol to be able to function properly.People with alcoholism develop a tolerance to the buzz, which means that over time they will need to consume more amounts of booze in order to get their fix. If alcoholics are forced to quit cold turkey, they go through alcohol withdrawal which is potentially life-threatening. Mild symptoms of alcohol withdrawal include anxiety and shakiness, while in extreme cases individuals can go through delirium tremens (characterized by tremors, confusion, fever, cognitive difficulty, hallucinations and irritability) and seizures.
