What is alcohol addiction?
Addiction to alcohol involves a loss of control over how much you drink, and negative emotions when alcohol is not available. Addiction can be framed as a repeating cycle with three stages.
Stage 1:
The binge/intoxication stage is characterized by seeking the feelings of reward associated with alcohol.
Stage 2:
The next stage is marked by seeking alcohol for relief from the negative emotional and physical pain as well as other unpleasant feelings brought on by withdrawal when a person stops drinking.
Stage 3:
The preoccupation/anticipation stage reflects changes in brain function that contribute to alcohol craving and loss of control over drinking.
