Misconceptions about alcoholism are common.Many people,for example,think that alcoholics are careless,pleasure-seeking people who have moral problems that make them easier prey for liquor.Actually,alcoholics often feel guilty about their drinking and are very self-conscious around other people.Alcoholics quite often have a low self-respect and are too sensitive about what people may think of them.Another common myth is that the alcoholic is always drunk,but experts say this is not so.In truth,there are three types of alcoholics.Episodic drinkers,for example,drink only now and then,but each of their drinking episodes ends in overindulgence.Habitual excess drinkers are also only occasionally drunk,but their episodes are much more frequent than those of the (#episodic#) drinker.The addict is a person who must drink continually simply in order to function.It is the addict who needs medical assistance to withdraw from the support of alcohol.
