A member asked:
I am curious if being an alcoholic is a disease, where in the brain is the disease located?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It would be: Inaccurate to try to point to one location in the body to blame for alcoholism. It can ravage many areas of the body. It is a disease of the mind, the body and the soul.
