Alcoholism is simply addiction to the drug ethanol (ethyl alcohol). There is no real difference.
Alcohol is similar in its action to opiates and other central nervous system depressants, but far more harmful to the body than most other drugs because of its affect on body systems such as the liver, circulatory and endocrine functions.

Does climate change affect thunderstorms?
While no single event can be attributed to climate change, thunderstorms as a whole are affected. From a simplistic standpoint, higher temperatures and increased evaporation means more energy is available for thunderstorms and they will become more frequent and potentially more severe. In reality both climate and weather are immensely complex. Some regions can expect to see more thunderstorm activity and some can expect less. In some areas storms may become more severe or less severe.
