Alcohol addiction, or alcoholism, can be described as a disease which is indicated
by the mental, psychological, and physical need for the assimilation of a particular
amount of
alcohol within a specified timeframe. Alcohol addiction isn’t anything
to be made light of. A person struggling with an addiction to alcohol will experience
powerful cravings that compel the individual to drink. Thus, alcohol addiction encompasses
every aspects of one’s existence.

working on a physical level to keep the alcoholic a slave for the next drink, and

“Alcohol addiction can also be perpetuated by hidden food allergies. Food allergies
often produce cravings for the foods causing the allergy. William Philpott, MD, PhD

endorphins or enkephalins, when stressed by an allergen. The opiate-like endorphins,
reduce anxiety and perpetuate the addiction”.
