this type of background. Bibliography lists one

Alcoholism: Common, Serious and Expensive
[ send me this paper ]
(7 pp) It is easier to think of alcoholism like we
think of any other disease. Some people are more at
risk for the disease. People with the disease didn't
cause it to happen. They can learn ways to live
with the disease and take care of themselves. As in
other diseases, if the person refuses treatment,
the disease will get worse, and the person may even
die. Risk factors for alcoholism in people who
drink alcohol include: a family member who is
alcoholic; a history of other substance abuse;
depression, or post- traumatic stress syndrome.

Alcoholism: Its Impact Upon Children Of Alcoholics

Alcohol’s Effect on Personality
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing the relation of alcohol and personality from several perspectives. Research indicates that more aggressive types are more likely to drink to excess; other researchers point to alcohol-induced interruption of brain activity as likely being cumulative and lasting, long after alcohol has left the drinker’s system. Still others address the effects of personality on the likelihood of success in alcohol treatment. It seems reasonable to say that personality affects individuals’ reactions to alcohol and even whether individuals drink at all. Though there has been a great deal of research into the relationship between alcohol and personality, the best information to date still seems to be anecdotal evidence. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
