Difference between Abuse and Dependence:

Here is throwing some light on the difference between alcohol abuse and dependence.

Alcohol abuse– It is slightly different from alcohol depends syndrome where the individual consumes alcohol too much, too often but not dependent on alcohol. Alcohol abuse is an intense desire to have a large amount of alcohol to the exclusion of other activities in daily life like work, studies, and personal responsibilities. The individual creates a pattern of drinking repeatedly in all the circumstance which is physically risky.

Alcohol dependence– When an individual becomes alcohol dependent automatically they increase in tolerance, suffer withdrawal syndrome, might encounter unsuccessful attempts on halting the drink altogether, tend to lose their control on alcohol which results to drinking more than before irrespective of the consequences.

Signs of Alcohol Dependence:

  • Serious hangover, hard to recover with prolonged time from the after effects of alcohol usage.
  • The dependent feels a decrease in the effect of alcohol because of the increase in tolerance, which consequently leads to consuming more than previous intake.
  • Reduced attention to personal and professional life.

Myth: Drinking at night will make sleep ease.

Fact: You may have a less demanding time on knocking  off following a night of drinking. Despite, it’s hard to stay asleep for long. Studies have illustrated that drinking liquor upsets fast eye movement or REM (Rapid eye movement) sleep.

  • Constantly failing in efforts on reducing alcohol consumption.
  • Whenever one tries to quit alcohol, withdrawal symptoms take place like tremors, alcohol hallucinosis, delirium tremens and withdrawal seizures.
