What is the effect of drinking and becoming an alcoholic?
If you are an alcoholic, alcohol becomes the most important thing in your life. You stop eating. You begin to neglect the important things in your life and the important people (job, family, spouse, etc.). You begin to push the people who care about you away and when they try to tell you that you need to stop drinking, you will argue with them and hurt them and accuse them of being mean to you, not caring about you, or neglecting you. You will begin to blame the people around you for your drinking. You begin to make up excuses for why you drink. You attempt to get people to feel sorry for you even though you are the one destroying everything around you. You begin to lie and then you keep lying to cover up those lies until you become a pathalogical liar. Eventually, nobody wants to be around you and no one believes anything that you say.
