About This Book
Alcoholism is a specific type of addiction and alcohol is considered to be the most commonly used substance in the United States. Various researches show that American alcohol-use habits can be unhealthy and most people in the United States consider alcohol consumption as a coping mechanism that can turn into disorder over time. According to the 2019 statistics provided by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), it is reported that about 85.6 percent of people aged 18 and over have consumed alcohol at some point in their lifetime. The statistics also show that about 15 million people aged 12 and older are affected by alcohol-use disorder (AUD).
Alcoholism Sourcebook, Sixth Edition provides detailed information about alcoholism, its consequences, physical effects, treatment, and recovery. It explains the psychosocial factors in alcoholism, binge drinking, underage drinking, and the physical effects of alcohol abuse such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), neuropathy, alcohol-induced liver diseases and organ injury. It also explains blood alcohol concentration (BAC), and other diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and sleep difficulties associated with alcohol. This book also describes the alcohol’s effect on reproductive and fetal health, alcohol-associated mental-health problems such as anxiety, addiction, and suicide along with treatment and recovery methods such as alcohol rehabilitation, strategies for reducing alcohol consumption, and medications. The book concludes with a glossary of terms related to alcoholism and a directory of organizations and support groups for alcohol-related concerns.
