Alcohol abuse can come in the form of someone having a couple of drinks a week to the full blown alcoholic. In the beginning when alcohol is first discovered an individual notices a personality change, taking an individual from a shy, calm person and transforming them into a outgoing life of the party type of individual. However this outgoing fun characteristic usually does not last and the person can turn into an aggressive out of control individual that no one wants to be around. This type of behavior tends to happen when more and more alcohol is consumed. Soon the casual drinker is no longer having fun and everyone around them is affected by their drinking. Alcoholism is no laughing matter and takes lives everyday but there is hope with treatment for alcohol addiction.
