Psychiatrist-narcologist Vasily Shurov told who is prone to alcoholism and how not to succumb to it.
The surest way to avoid becoming an alcoholic is not to drink alcohol at all, the doctor advises.
“None of those who started drinking will become an alcoholic,” says the expert to the magazine FAN .
Alcohol has many pleasant effects: it relieves anxiety and promotes a good mood, so people quickly become addicted to it, explained doctor Vasily Shurov.
According to him, it all starts with the fact that a person is ready to accept an offer to drink from his colleagues in order to establish companionship. He then realizes how much easier this makes the process and continues to drink for the benefit. Finally, alcohol becomes such an important part of his life that he cannot go a day without having at least one drink.
In addition, people who feel anxious about themselves and do not want to take responsibility for their lives often turn to alcohol as a way to escape from their problems.
