Alcohol Addiction:
Biological & Sociological
Aspects
This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials
at the Rowland Medical Library. Alcoholism is a chronic
illness marked by consumption of alcoholic beverages at a level that interferes with
physical or mental health, and social, family, or occupational responsibilities. Alcohol
dependence or alcoholism is the most severe form of alcohol abuse and this addiction
includes both physical and psychological dependence. Alcohol abuse also includes
"problem drinking" such as drinking and driving or binge drinking (drinking six
or more drinks on one occasion). The social consequences of problem drinking and
alcohol dependence can be as serious as the medical problems.
