The main characteristic of alcohol abuse is that people can moderate or stop drinking when they decide that the adverse consequences are worse than the desirable effects of drinking; when an individual have developed alcoholism, they will not be able to stop drinking, even under adverse consequences.
With treatment, about 70% of people with alcoholism are able to decrease the number of days they consume alcohol and improve their overall health status within six months.
When an individual has a blood alcohol level of .3%, they will most likely be on the verge of unconsciousness and could possibly be comatose. When a person has a blood alcohol level of .4% or above, death is possible.
Individuals that struggle with alcoholism need empathy and professional treatment; scientific research has clearly shown that punishment does not tend to reduce alcoholic drinking, except with alcohol abusers, who still have some measure of control over their drinking.
