Alcoholism is actually a clinically-diagnosable condition, characterized by 10 criteria in the DSM-IV.

The criteria includes:
1. impaired control over drinking
2. tolerance to alcohol
3. withdrawal syndrome when alcohol is removed
4. neglect of normal activities for drinking
5. continued drinking despite recurrent related physical or psychological problems

Have you had experience with any of the above criteria in regards to your drinking? Has a loved one? Did you/your loved one seek help, and if so, what was the result?
