It is well established that alcoholism is a chronic condition and a major public health issue. Alcoholism presents as a continuum with different presentations among different individuals. This continuum starts from habitual consumption, to problematic use/abuse, to severe abuse with physical problems and finally addiction. It is certain that the physical and psychological problems that accompany the pathological relationship with alcohol increase with the quantity consumed and the frequency of use. Alcohol addiction is a multifactorial disorder that runs transgenerationally [1].
