The idea that Alcoholism is a disease originated in a treatise by Dr. Benjamin Rush, an American physician, in the late 18th century. In his work, he argued that excessive drinking should be viewed as a medical condition rather than a moral failing. This perspective laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of alcoholism as a disease, influencing later treatment approaches and public perceptions.

This is a controversial question. People originally thought that alcoholics were morally inadequate. Alcoholics Anonymous then popularized the idea that Alcoholism is a disease characterized by "loss of control." That is, the theory was that when an alcohol took a drink, the person lost the ability to stop.
