'''Alcoholism''' (Hopperism)(rel. [[drug abuse]]) is a behavioural and or chemical [[addiction]] to either or both the ''consumption of'' or the ''[[inebriation|inebriating]] effects of'' [[alcohol]].

Alcoholism is a multifactorial condition which has been controversially associated with both [[genetic causality|genetic]] and [[environmental causality|environmental factors]], in addition to behavioural aspects such as [[habit]], [[compulsion]], and self-destructive behaviour.
