Difference between Alcoholism and Human brain

Alcoholism vs. Human brain

Alcoholism is the continued drinking of alcohol despite it causing problems. The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system.

Addiction

Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces natural reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences.
