Alcoholism seems to run in families; it appears that this suggests a genetic cause; however, many things run in families that are not genetic, which casts dispersions on this prominent theory.
Blood alcohol tests under normal circumstances are generally reported to be quite accurate, although some conditions, such as putrefaction (fermentation of body tissues after death), dilution of blood by emergency survival methods (such as intravenous fluids), and extreme blood loss, may affect these results.
According to recent government studies in the U.S. alcohol is more addictive that marijuana; the study indicates that 10-12% of people who regularly drink alcohol will become dependent but only 9% of the people that smoke marijuana on a regular basis will become addicted.
If your health care provider determines that you are not alcohol dependent but are nonetheless involved in a pattern of alcohol abuse, he or she can help you to: Examine the benefits of stopping an unhealthy drinking pattern. Set a drinking goal for yourself. Some people choose to abstain from alcohol. Others prefer to limit the amount they drink. Examine the situations that trigger your unhealthy drinking patterns, and develop new ways of handling those situations so that you can maintain your drinking goal.
