Alcohol dependence is a chronic disease that is often progressive and fatal. Although alcoholism tends to run in families, it is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. An individual who is dependent upon alcohol typically uses it to avoid personal and social factors in his or her life. The four symptoms of alcohol dependence include:

craving for alcohol
inability to reduce or stop alcohol consumption
experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping alcohol consumption
increased tolerance of alcohol (takes more to get the same effect)

5. Relief or avoidance of withdrawal symptoms by further drinking.
6. Subjective awareness of compulsion to drink.
