Is the Term “disease” a Good Term to Use When Talking About Alcoholics?
Question by Mercedes Herrera: Is the term “disease” a good term to use when talking about alcoholics?
What is your opinion? Is it fair to say that when someone drinks so much, that it harms themselves and others that they have a “disease”? Do you think that alcoholism is something that you choose, or is it that the person was born with a genetic deficiency and cannot control their preordained destiny?
