Intoxication in the family becomes a common misfortune for all its members. There are many reasons for alcoholism, but most often it is the weakness of a person's character or a bad influence. They have been trying to fight intoxication for a long time, but the most important factor for a successful cure is the person’s conscious desire to stop drinking.
Who is really considered an alcoholic
People usually start to consider an alcoholic who sinks into people’s eyes. And official medicine has its own facts about this result.
The acceptable dose for a man and a woman is 75 ml and 50 ml of alcohol, respectively. If these indicators are not exceeded, intoxication will not occur and control over actions will not be lost. But a person gets a clear definition of an alcoholic when he drinks more than 500 grams several times a week.
But in addition, there are basic definitions of alcoholism:
- The dose and frequency of alcohol intake is constantly increasing;
- In the morning, an obsessive desire to get drunk is added;
- Need to drink again, due to severe irritation and poor health. The so-called withdrawal symptoms;
- Solving any trouble in life or just boredom by drinking alcohol;
- Significant changes in behavior and daily life.
It should be noted that alcohol includes vodka and moonlight, as well as cocktails, champagne and seemingly harmless beer.

The doctor may prescribe a course of cleansing and taking medication. But everything goes on individually. If the fun did not last long and the body is, in principle, healthy, then you can expect the self-cleansing process at home.
