Understanding Alchoholism
Understanding Alcoholism
Heavy drinking has passed a dangerous situation to society because it makes many problems to the society. There are drunken driving accidents, health problems, family problems from alcohol. So we try to find out the important factors about alcoholism and try to protect from alcoholism. The author of “Gene clue to heavy drinking”(2002) believes that people with a family history of heavy drinking are more likely to become alcoholic. I believe that both genetic factor and environment are the important facts to stimulate for alcoholism.
There are two view of alcoholism. First, some scientists have found further evidence that genes may contribute to alcoholism. They say people with a family history of heavy drinking quickly develop a tolerance for alcohol. Sandra Morzorati, Indian University School of Medicine, says that the development of tolerance may maintain or increase drinking in people with a family history of alcoholism through her laboratory experiment. Second, Richard Phillips says, even assuming that genetic factors play a part, it seems highly likely that other factors will be just as or important. He emphasize the environment more genes in alcoholism.
I think that both genetics and the environment in alcoholism are important factors which can’t be ignored. I have a tolerance to alcohol from my dad. Even though I got tolerance from my dad, I did not have achance to drink alcohol when I was young. I did not know I had a the good ability to control alcohol. But after marriage, I recognized that alcohol is a very good way to forget something, to express my feeling, to communicate well, Finally I have got the chance to meet alcohol. Actually tolerance was passed from my dad. It is not easy to be drunken well. Finally I have enjoyed the chance to meet alcohol without fear of being a terrible drunken woman. Sometimes I like to drink when life is not simple, especially the situation is not good. In addithion, environment is also an important factor to understand what makes people drunken . If someone has a natural tolerance to alcohol , in addition, has a favorable environment , he will absolutely be an alcoholic who makes problems not only in his life but also in society. Drinking alcohol is a bad habit, and it is difficult to stop . So we have to learn how to drink alcohol, how to handle it because alcoholism is one of the important social problems. It is important to develop ways to solve the problem without drinking alcohol.
