In my fraternity in college there were non-drinkers, social drinkers and alcoholics. The alcoholics were easy to spot. We all knew who they were. They did not act in a normal manner when they were sober or drunk. The alcoholics are still alcoholics, even though many have now found a way to stay sober. While some alcoholics are more problematic when they drink, many are actually more pleasant because they are medicated. We even added Thorazine to the morning orange juice of our most troublesome alcoholic member. This curbed his drinking dramatically. He found he felt "more alive" when he visited another campus 600 miles away, and soon transferred there. Actually, he wasn't getting his morning orange juice so was able to act out his alcoholism. The incidence of mental disorders is dramatically higher in families with a high incidence of alcoholism. Many believe that alcoholics are drawn to alcohol or drugs as a form of self-medication. When alcoholics are properly diagnosed and placed on an antidepressant, lithium, or other medication to treat their underlying mental disorder, they achieve a much higher success rate in remaining sober. Many even report that they no longer feel a desire to drink. .
