related to the blood alcohol level of the individual, which is calculated by how much the person weighs, how much they have drank, and how fast they have drank it. These actions can cause a person to damage the inner organs and permanently kill brain cells from lack of blood supply to the brain. It is actually hard for a person to really become addicted to alcohol because it is not really an addictive drug like smoking. But after chronic use of the drug, the body develops a physical need for it and going with out the drug will cause withdrawal symptoms such as shaking, sweating, vomiting, and/or an overall irritability.I would like to do further research on the many places where individuals dependent on alcohol or some other drug can obtain the help they need to remove their need for the substance that is controlling their life. I did not go in to depth on this area because I found it answering one of my original questions, if I had the chance though, I would like to go further and learn more about how these facilities work to free the abuser of the burden of using alcohol. It would be interesting to learn about the different steps or stages alcoholics go through to accomplish their goal of kicking the habit....
