Alcohol Abuse
A person can be in a healthy state of mind as long as he or she does not allow the temptation of drinking alcohol consuming his or her life.

A person will drink periodically because of stress factors in some cases. My father would drink to take the edge of losing his wife, but this obsession became a daily ritual. He was striving to escape his situation of, not wanting to think about, not having her in his life anymore. Alcohol became a problem for my father as he was not at ease with his life, and he did possess many burdens.

He did describe himself as a social drinker, and he did admit he would get carried away when he visits bars at night after long days. He would not remember what took place on previous nights, and this routine was affecting his work, and his bosses could not count on him performing their task expectations. This...
