Appears to me Alcoholism is no different than drug addiction....both often used to self medicate because the addiction demands it when abused til one is addicted.....doesn’t only destroy body organs...but affects the brain as well.
Neither would I consider either a disease as it’s self inflicted....rather once one indulges some are more likely to become addicted than others just by their own particular nature.....it’s still a choice and lots of warnings from people before it becomes an addiction....
Well your understanding of alcoholism is incorrect.
But just keep thinking
