Alcoholism is a chronic disease characterized by the compulsive consumption of alcohol, despite negative consequences on physical health, mental well-being, and social relationships. Research in this area focuses on understanding the underlying causes of alcoholism, such as genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and neurobiological mechanisms. Additionally, studies aim to develop effective treatments and interventions to help individuals recover from alcohol addiction and prevent relapse. Research in the field of alcoholism also explores the social and economic impact of the disorder, as well as the development of public health policies to address the prevalence and consequences of alcohol addiction.
