And [b]alcohol use disorder[/b] is known to make it harder for someone to make decisions due to the damage to the brain and cognition (which yes is partially reversible but not during the time when someone is actively abusing alcohol). Imagine being stuck making decisions with someone whose capability to make decisions is actively impaired whether they're currently drunk or in between binges / episodes.[/quote]

Is this what we call "alcoholism" now?[/quote]
Apparently it takes away the determination of whether someone is an official "alcoholic". Especially the person looking at themselves who doesn't want to take the big mental leap into admitting "I - AM - AN - ALCOHOLIC". It's as if there are 10 steps until you cross into official alcoholism and you no longer have to debate if the person is on step 7 or 8 (so not an official alcoholic yet!) Or hey - I'm clinging to step 9.5 - so I'm still ok!

Now it's just: is the way you are drinking causing problems for you? - your health, your job, your family, friends, DUI's, etc. Even if you are only on "step 5". If so, you have alcohol use disorder and need to change the way you use alcohol (or perhaps stop all together).[/quote]

I have a disease!!
