Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by C.G.: Why do so many people here think their hangovers are “alcohol poisoning”?
I’ve seen multiple questions today of people typing out long questions claiming they must have alcohol poisoning. All their symptoms are just classic hangover symptoms. Why don’t people realize if they have alcohol poisoning if they’re not unconscious they will be close to it and they will be in the hospital getting their stomach pumped? There is HUGE difference…
I read one today that was like “Should I go to the hospital and get my stomach pumped? I threw up a few times”

*Rolls eyes*

Question by Original: When will people realize that alcoholism is NOT a disease?
Humans have free will. Free will means that you have a CHOICE to continue drinking or not to drink. It’s not a disease, its just a lack of personal responsibility.
Bottom Line: If someone commits a crime, let’s say a DUI, and we put them in jail then guess what, they won’t have access to alcohol so what happens to those people? They don’t depend on alcohol so how do they “cope”?
