What is Alcoholism? Alcoholism: -Is the only disease contracted by an act of will. -Is the only disease that is habit forming. -Is the only disease that comes in a bottle. -Is the only disease causing hundreds of thousands of family disruptions. -Is the only disease promoting crime and brutality. -Is the only disease contributing to hundreds of thousands of automobile accidents. -Is the only disease playing a major part in over 50% of the more than 50000 annual highway deaths. -Is the only disease which is sold by license. -Is the only disease that is bought in grocery stores, drug stores, and well-marked retail outlets. -Is the only disease that is taxed by the government. Is the only disease that is necessary for medical doctors to fellowship one with another. -Is the only disease in which medical support for the disease outweighs any effort to prevent it. -Is the only disease given as Christmas gifts. -Is the only disease that has been “legalized” for sale on Sunday by our legislators.
