Alcoholism can be broken down into into three stages, the early stage, middle stage and end stage. Alcoholism stages develop over a series of years. Alcoholism is a problem where alcohol drink intake is at a level that iis disruptive to physical or mental health, and also impacts negatively ion social, family or occupational obligations.
Consuming no more than one or two drinks per day for healthy men and a drink a day for healthy non-pregnant women are generally considered acceptable alcohol consumption without health risks. However, as the amount or frequency of drinking increases, the earliest of the alcoholism stages can develop as a result.

Alcoholism Early stage
In the first stage ofalcoholism the individual begins to depend upon alcohol to influence their mood. They drink to allieviate problems, and become increasingly preocupied with thoughts about drinking.l. The individual and other people close to them may not realize that they are in the earliest stage of alcoholism. As addiction takes hold, tolerance is developed and it takes more and more alcohol to achieve the desired effect. Frequently, the individual can take large amounts of alcohol without seeming inebriated.
In the early stage, the body adapts to increasing amounts of alcohol and a person’s functions are likely to be improved as blood alcohol levels rise. For example, they can behave normally and walk in a straight line without difficulty. However, with continued alcohol intake over time, the body starts to lose its power to cope with high alcohol levels and as a result when the alcoholic stops drinking and their blood alcohol level decreases, thinking, talking or walking functions deteriorate, and they have progressed to the next of the stage of alcoholism.
Middle Alcoholism Stage
The need and to drink becomes more and more intense. Drinking greater amounts and more frequently has started tooccur and the individual is likely to drink early in the day The alcoholic has started to lose control of their drinking, and the body is no longer effective at processing alcohol as it did before and as tolerance diminishes they become intoxicated easily and withdrawal symptoms get more severe when alcohol is reduced.
The individual might now realize that they have a drinking problem, and other people might notice as well. Regrettably, the alcoholic is unable to judge how much alcohol they can handle. The drinker denies to themselves and other people that alcohol is a problem to avoid their inner turmoil. Hangovers, blackouts and stomach problems start to occur on a regular basis.
End Stage Alcoholism
As alcoholism advances, the alcoholic has become preoccupied with drinking to the exclusion of almost everything else. Everybody can tell that there is a major problem. During the llast stage of alcoholism the mental and physical health of the alcoholic are severely deteriorating. Many of the body’s organs have been harmed and the alcoholic is susceptible to disease. Relationships both at home and socially may have been gravely damaged, and there can be growing financial and legal problems due to the alcoholic’s inability to control alcohol.
Malnutrition has become a problem as large amounts of alcohol interferes with the digestion process and the passage of nutrients from the intestines to the bloodstream. Liver function has been impaired and conversion of nutrients into a useable form is no longer effective. The damaged cells are unable to repair themselves and deterioration continues. Nutritional deficiencies cause a plethora of associated problems. For example, vitamin B-1 deficiency is a common problem resulting in decreased mental alertness and appetite, tiredness, mental confusion and emotional instability.
If the alcoholic continues to drink, alcohol will cause the death of the alcoholic, from suicide, accidents or related injuries.
If you recognize any of these traits in either yourself or someone you love,please do something about it before it is too late.
