5 Most Common Causes Of Alcoholism

Did you know that in the year 2019, 25.8% of people 18 years of age and older said that they engaged in binge drinking in the past month? If you are worried about yourself or a family member that seems to be drinking too much, we are here to share what the most common causes of alcoholism are.

Keep reading to learn more about a person’s drinking habits. 

1. Environment

Sometimes living in stressful environments can push a person to drink more than usual. For example, if someone is under a lot of stress at work they are more likely to drink heavily to help not think about work. Careers that are stressful such as nurses and doctors can lead to a higher chance of alcoholism.

2. Family History

Believe it or not, family history plays a huge part in alcoholism. People are more likely to develop an addiction when their close relatives or parent have dealt with alcohol use disorder in the past. This can either be from genetics or just an influence from the environment people witness. 

For example, if you grew up seeing a parent that had to go to rehab for medical detox then it makes it easier for you to end up walking in those footsteps as well. You can know more here in regards to medical detox. 

3. Drinking From an Early Age

Drinking From an Early Age

If you are in your younger teens years and you begin to drink alcohol you are more likely to develop a dependence on alcohol. Young adults binge drinking in their college years is another way to become dependent on alcohol. 

The other problem with drinking from an early age is that it can cause long-term problems with your health. Keep in mind that people at any age can begin misusing alcohol but the younger you are the higher your chances are to develop alcoholism. 

4. Mental Health Disorders

Sometimes people that deal with mental health issues such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or post-traumatic stress disorder are so frustrated that they turn to alcohol to cope. The problem is that while alcohol might make the person feel “better” it will make their mental health symptoms worst.

5. Mixing Prescriptions

Another sign of alcoholism is mixing prescription medications with alcohol. Alcohol and medications can lead to addiction because of the effects that the person feels from combining the two. If you or a loved one are currently mixing alcohol with medication it can lead to health problems such as heart damage, blood pressure change, nausea, dizziness, or changes in mental state. 

Now You Can Evaluate People’s Drinking Habits

We hope that now that you are aware of people’s drinking habits when they are dealing with alcoholism you can make an informed decision on whether you or your loved one needs professional help.
