Alcoholism - The Enemy Within
Societies the world over have long since encouraged the role of alcohol as an integral part of their celebrations. From the workplace, where board meetings are often followed by a round of drinks, to celebrations which often call for the customary toast alcohol is viewed as a harmless indulgence which lifts spirits and fosters a sentiment of togetherness, as people bond over a drink or two. But very often, it does not take long for this one drink to multiply into two, and then four, and to find these instances which call for a drink cropping up at increasingly regular intervals. And this is when the disease called alcoholism takes its roots, growing into a web of despair and illness that enmeshes the victim when he is at his most vulnerable.
