Alcohol Dependence

Alcohol Dependence is the

name clinicians have given to

alcoholism.

Following are some of the symptoms:

Neglect of other Activities: Important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of alcohol use.
Excessive Use: Alcohol is consumed in larger amounts over a longer period than intended.
Impaired control: Ongoing, unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control alcohol consumption.
Persistence of Use: Alcohol consumption is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely caused or exacerbated by alcohol.
Large Amounts of Time Spent in Alcohol Related Activities: A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain, use or recover from the effects of alcohol.
Withdrawal: Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking.
Tolerance: The need for increasing amounts of alcohol in order to feel its effects.

This is usually preceded by alcohol abuse.
