• Drinking as a LIFESTYLE (BEHAVIOUR)

V. Hudolin

ALCOHOLISM and ALCOHOL – RELATD PROBLEMS have ancient origins in our SOCIAL and GENERAL CULTURE

The “DRINKING CULTURE” is the RESULT of COMMON PLACES, HABITS and VESTED INTERESTS

ALTERING THE BALANCE

•Of the INDIVIDUAL

•Of the FAMILY

•Of the COMMUNITY

ALCOHOLISM DETERMINS

SEVERE TROUBLES

(PHYSICAL,

PSYCHIC and SOCIAL)

ALCOHOLISM CAUSES and GROWS WORSE many DESEASES but IT IS NOT by ITSELF a DESEASE

SMOKING and TAKING DRUGS CAUSE and GROW WORSE some DESEASES but they are NOT by themselves a DESEASE

THEY ARE BEHAVIOURS that CANNOT BE

CORRECTED ONLY PHARMACEUTICALLY

ALCOHOLISM

is NOT a DESEASE

It’s a BEHAVIOUR,a LIFE STYLE, PAINFUL and LOSING

•for the INDIVIDUAL

•for the FAMILY

•for the COMMUNITY
