There is a lot of controversy over this issue. The best information seems to indicate that people can recover from the physical effects of Alcoholism if they stop drinking soon enough, but that some of the changes that take place in the brain during the process of alcohol addiction will remain. If that is the case, "recovered" alcoholics who drink are risking a rapid return of the addiction.

We need also to consider the psychological aspects of someone's wanting to have a drink when they have already seen what can happen. One could argue that such people have to be especially careful, since they are not committed to sobriety to begin with. Of course, denial being what it is, they will be the first to argue the point.

This is complicated to some degree by the variables among individuals. The best advice is to stay away from alcohol completely if it has previously caused problems in your life. The possible price of taking it up again is too high to pay.

What is the difference between an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic?

The answer is that a non-alcoholic given a substantial reason (i.e.- spouse, kids, job, probation, health) , can and will stop drinking and not start again. Certain text-books describe three different types of drinkers. The problem drinker is described as a person that, when drinking, experiences difficulties they would not have if they were not drinking. The next type of drinker is a "hard drinker" who may consume a large volume of alcohol on a regular basis but given a sufficient reason to cease drinking will stop. The real alcoholic will continue drinking regardless of the what is at stake in regards to financial security, personal relationships, or his/her own health.
