Patient's question:
Every day, I drink. If I don't, I feel uncomfortable, sweat profusely, and have lower back pain. Drinking makes it hard for me to control myself. After drinking, I become hyperactive and can't sleep:Doctor's answer:
Hello, alcohol dependence (disorder) was commonly referred to as alcoholism or alcohol addiction. It refers to the mental and physical dependence on alcohol that develops in long-term drinkers. Mental dependence or craving can cause restlessness, anxiety, irritability, fatigue, and desperate attempts to find or sneak alcohol if they go a day without drinking. Physical dependence occurs when long-term drinkers experience discomfort upon breaking their alcohol, such as palpitations, headaches, and weakness. Symptoms naturally disappear once they resume drinking.Advice: The most basic method is to use willpower to control it. However, sudden cessation may cause unnecessary harm to the body.
