I know people who constantly drink to much. This leads to alcoholism
So do I. It's horrible! It can damage the brain, heart, liver, pancreas, and immune system!

Addiction psychology
Addiction psychology mostly comprises the clinical psychology and abnormal psychology disciplines and fosters the application of information obtained from research in an effort to appropriately diagnose, evaluate, treat, and support clients dealing with addiction.
