Alcohol addiction and alcohol misuse are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they are actually distinct conditions that have different implications for individuals’ lives. Alcohol addiction, also known as alcoholism, is a chronic disease characterised by compulsive drinking despite negative consequences. Alcohol misuse, on the other hand, refers to a pattern of drinking that can lead to harmful or risky behaviour but does not necessarily indicate addiction. Both conditions require proper intervention and management.
Of course, alcohol brings with it a set of issues that are often not seen with other substances, due to its global and social acceptability. However, that does not mean it won’t severely impact some people’s lives.
The effects of long-term alcohol abuse on the body can be devastating. Chronic alcohol use can cause damage to the liver, leading to liver disease or liver failure. It can also weaken the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. Heavy drinking can also lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and digestive problems.
In addition, alcohol abuse can lead to mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. It can also cause memory loss, blackouts, and impaired judgement, which can increase the risk of accidents and injuries. Heavy drinking over long periods of time can also increase the risk of developing dementia.
The signs and symptoms of alcohol addiction may vary from person to person, but some of the common indicators include a strong urge to drink, an inability to stop drinking despite knowing its harmful effects, neglecting responsibilities, interference in relationships, inability to control the amount of alcohol intake, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms whenever alcohol consumption is reduced or stopped altogether. As an example, going cold turkey on your own is never recommended as it can bring with it some potentially fatal medical concerns such as seizures, and it rarely results in long-term success and places this individual in danger. This is why we medically assess everyone coming to The Beekeeper.
Other signs of alcohol addiction may include developing a tolerance to alcohol, which means that an individual needs to drink more alcohol over time to experience the same effects; engaging in risky behaviours such as driving under the influence; experiencing a wide range of physical and mental health problems such as liver disease, hypertension, and anxiety; and experiencing significant disruptions in daily life, such as job loss, financial instability, and legal problems.
One of the primary reasons that people become addicted to alcohol is because it stimulates the reward system in their brains. Alcohol releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for feelings of pleasure and reward, and over time, alcohol use can change the brain’s circuitry to make it more dependent on the substance. As a result, people who drink heavily may become addicted to the pleasurable feelings that alcohol provides them.
Another major factor that contributes to alcohol misuse are environmental issues in a person’s life. High stress levels, trauma, and social isolation can all lead to increased alcohol use, as can exposure to negative peer group pressure. A family history of substance abuse can also be a significant risk factor for alcohol misuse, but this is not always the case. Children of alcoholic parents are more likely to develop alcohol addiction themselves, as they may not have been taught healthy coping mechanisms or may have grown up in an environment where heavy drinking was normalised. However, this is not a given and it is important to remember many people do not.
It is crucial to recognize and remember that alcohol addiction is a progressive illness or mental health issue that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or social status. It is not a sign of weakness or lack of willpower. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating alcohol addiction or misuse, as each individual’s needs may be different, and this is something we are very aware of at The Beekeeper. However, seeking help and support from us will enable us to provide the tools and resources necessary to effectively manage drinking habits and overcome dependence. With appropriate treatment from The Beekeeper, recovery from alcohol addiction or misuse is possible, leading to a healthier and happier life. Without treatment or engaging with some form of recovery programme, chronic substance misuse of alcohol is progressive and can lead to life changing disability and a premature death.

One of the most common signs of alcohol addiction is a strong urge or craving to drink alcohol regularly, including secret drinking. An addicted individual will often prioritise alcohol over their daily responsibilities and relationships, or find ways to incorporate drinking into any event possible. They may also become defensive when confronted about their alcohol intake and may deny that they have a problem. An individual with alcohol dependency may often experience depression, anxiety, or mood swings, which can be exacerbated by alcohol use, or withdrawal when they cannot access alcohol.
Behavioural signs of alcohol addiction can also include a decrease in productivity at work, school, or household duties. Alcohol addiction can also lead to a decline in personal hygiene, isolation from family and friends, and even financial difficulties. Additionally, individuals with alcohol dependency may also experience withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, sweating, or nausea when they try to stop drinking. These are key signs that alcohol has become a chronic problem in a person’s life and needs professional support and attention.
The emotional and behavioural signs of alcohol dependency can negatively impact an individual’s life if left unaddressed. It is crucial to seek professional help or support from loved ones when experiencing these symptoms to overcome addiction and regain control of one’s life.
People who are addicted to alcohol often experience strong cravings for it and may even prioritise it above their own needs and responsibilities. They may frequently consume larger amounts of alcohol than others, without apparent signs of intoxication. Additionally, individuals who are dependent on alcohol may have difficulty controlling their consumption habits, which may cause them to continue drinking even when they know it is detrimental to their health. An example of this might be drinking at home after a party when everyone else has stopped drinking.
Withdrawal symptoms also play a major role in alcohol dependency and addiction. When heavy drinkers attempt to quit or slow down their consumption, they may face physical consequences such as nausea, headaches, shaking and sweating. Many may not even realise that these symptoms are signs of alcohol dependency and addiction.
Alcoholism is also often associated with neglecting responsibilities, particularly at work and in personal relationships. Heavy alcohol consumption can lead to poor performance, absenteeism, and even job loss when the dependence has escalated. Additionally, alcoholics may have strained relationships with loved ones, often due to their drinking habits. It can cause issues within families and friendship groups, often shattering trust and relationships.
The social signs of alcoholism can be extremely detrimental and are often a cry for help, even if it doesn’t always feel like that by loved ones, family, and friends.
