How does alcoholism work?

929 views

When I’m on a night out, I get to a point when I can’t drink anymore because it’ll make me sick… and then in the morning you can’t even look at drink!

How can people who are considered alcoholics keep drinking constantly and not get that feeling?

It’s a form of tolerance like a callus on your foot from walking barefoot all the time.
Your body physically changes from the constant poisonings it is exposed to from the alcohol for people that drink regularly/often.
As it modifies itself to handle the constant poisonings it gets to a point that it needs alcohol to operate.
You wake up in the middle of the night shaking so bad that you have to have a drink to make it to the morning. As you dry out you go through horrible readjustments as the organs readjust to the lack of poison in them.Some have had success stopping by slowly tapering off but for the most part once you are at the level of shakes when not drinking most people just find it easier to just keep feeding the beast.
The liver takes the most of the damage trying to filter the poison out.
