1.2.1 Genetic predisposition

Genetic inheritance plays an important role in the development of alcohol dependence. If a person has relatives who are alcohol dependent, they have an increased risk of becoming an alcoholic. Some people may have biological abnormalities that make them more vulnerable to being caught in a vicious cycle.

1.2.2 Stress and Psychological Problems

Alcohol is often used as a way to cope with stress and psychological difficulties. People may turn to alcohol to temporarily forget about their problems or to reduce their anxiety and depression. However, drinking alcohol does not take you out of a stressful state, but rather drives you deeper into it.

1.2.3 Sociocultural factors and environment

Sociocultural factors, such as cultural traditions and social acceptance of alcohol use, may influence the development of alcohol dependence. If alcohol consumption is common in a society and considered normal, people may start drinking under the influence of sociocultural pressure. In addition, the environment plays a role: if a person is surrounded by people who regularly drink alcohol, this can become an incentive to start using and develop an addiction.

My dears, let’s carefully select the environment with which we communicate, because we are adopting their habits.

1.2.4 Finding Solace and Coping with Problems

Many people turn to alcohol to cope with pain, grief, loss or other difficult emotional states. Alcohol seems to provide a temporary path to solace and oblivion. However, using alcohol as a coping mechanism can create addiction as the person begins to view it as an integral part of solving their problems.

But you must admit – this is more and more stupidity, trying to get away from the problem —

we gain new ones.

It is important to remember that although these factors may increase the risk of developing alcohol dependence, they do not necessarily lead to it. Strong social connections, a healthy lifestyle and psychological support can help prevent or overcome alcohol addiction problems.

And of course, the most important thing is willpower, and your environment.
