1. Alcoholism or drug abuse is one of the issues that face families and end up affecting them adversely. Therefore, the stressor is worthy to be discussed since its effects extend to the entire family. By definition, alcoholism refers to the severe form of alcohol abuse where the people affected are unable to manage their drinking habits. This habit can also be called alcohol use disorder. Alcoholism is organized into three distinct categories namely mild, moderate and severe categories with each stage having its symptoms as well as harmful side effects.
