disease of alcoholism and how it can be treated. The authors are physicians themselves so they

speak from first hand experiences. The short article talks about what can cause alcoholism, the

misinterpretations, getting treatment for the disease, and how to move on from it.

This article was very eye opening for me. Its important to be aware of the cause and

effects of alcoholism. Its not only an addiction but also a disease and it should be treated as

such. I learned from this source small yet important details of alcoholism, such as the fact that

the leading cause of death for men between the ages of 25 to 44 years old is alcohol related. This

is how I related this article to my inquiry project. My dad is an alcoholic and he is 36 years old.

He struggled really badly with the disease for most of my middle school and high school careers

but he has since then gone to rehabilitation and bettered himself. Today he is almost a year and a

half sober. It was important, to me, to read up on the subject of alcoholism so that I could better

understand it from my fathers point of view. Commented [AJ2]: Maybe include where this source

We can tell this article is credible for many reasons. First of all, it was a peer-reviewed

article. Another reason we can assume its credible is because the article was written by doctors

who have dealt with the issues of alcoholism first hand. They have spoken to and treated many

alcoholics. The authors use many other physicians to reference their information. They also used

reliable graphs and numbers to better provide information on the topic of alcoholism.
