sorry dude, there are many things that lead to medial issues that can be named chronic, but that doesn't make then a disease. And quoting the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism isn't helping your case either. it's like asking the republicans to justify their exsistance.
Alcohol abuse can be stoped by one thing.....changing one's behavior.
I'm not in the mood to hear anyone make excuses.
there are 2 kinds of people in this world. people who talk about it and people who do it. never met a sucessfull person who just talked about it. Even Tony Robins has an agent.
Merry fucking Christmas

Alcohol abuse can cause a condition called "fatty liver" or another called "alcohol hepatitis" -- both of which can be treated, but only if alcohol consumption is stopped. If drinking continues, these conditions will cause cirrhosis of the liver.
Hardening of the Liver
What happens is the liver begins to harden. Scar tissue develops in the body's largest organ which hinders its ability to filter blood. When the scar tissue develops to a certain point, the liver can no longer do its work.
The problem is the liver performs more than 1,500 functions for the body, including more than 300 life-saving procedures. If the liver stops doing its job, all kinds of health problems develop quickly and death can come rapidly.
The liver detoxifies poisons, both those produced by the body and those from outside; filters bacteria from the blood; regulates fat metabolism; stores and manufactures vitamins; regulates and manufactures cholesterol and fats; synthesizes proteins; maintains the body's water and salt balance; secretes bile for the digestion of fat; stores energy (in the form of glycogen) helps regulate overall body metabolism; transforms the highly toxic ammonia (produced by exercise and by metabolism of proteins) into urea which is eliminated in the urine; manufactures lipoproteins for fat and cholesterol transport; and metabolizes alcohol.
If the liver stops doing any of these jobs, or numerous others it does constantly, the result is fatal.

Q. Is Alcoholism a Disease?
from National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
A.
Yes. Alcoholism is a chronic, often progressive disease with symptoms that include a strong need to drink despite negative consequences, such as serious job or health problems. Like many other diseases, it has a generally predictable course, has recognized symptoms, and is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors that are being increasingly well defined. (See also Alcohol Alert No. 30: Diagnostic Criteria for Alcohol Abuse and Dependence.)
