The world health organisation consider alcoholism as a desease/illness.do you agree ?

I agree with the disease concept of alcoholism. dr. david ohlms, who is an expert in the field of alcoholism, has defined alcoholism as follows: alcoholism is a chronic, progressive, incurable disease characterized by loss of control over alcohol and other sedatives. chronic: lasts a long time. progressive: alcoholism goes through a series of increasing symptoms and it does not go away. it gets worse even after long periods of sobriety, and can be reactivated by a single drink. incurable: one can not return to normal drinking. one can return to a normal life, but only by stopping drinking. disease: a condition in which bodily health is impaired and interferes with the ability of the person to function normally. loss of control: once the alcoholic takes that first drink after a period of being sober or abstinent, he/she can not predict with any reliability whether he/she is going to have a normal or abnormal drinking episode. therefore, they do not control the alcohol, it controls them.
