Definition
People who are addicted to alcohol and depend on it physically or psychologically.
Etymology
From 'alcohol' (Arabic 'al-kuhl,' originally a fine powder used for eye cosmetics) combined with '-ic' (relating to). The modern medical term emerged in the 1800s as alcohol addiction was recognized as a disease.
Kelly Says
Alcoholics Anonymous, founded in 1935, revolutionized addiction treatment by treating alcoholism as a disease rather than a moral failure—a perspective that still influences how we think about addiction today.
