Answering the question, 'Is alcoholism a disease?' has far-reaching implications for the alcoholic in treatment, judgments about the professional responsibility and competency of particular groups (physicians and nurses, psychiatrists, social workers, psychologists and recovering alcoholics), and for the epidemiologist whose job it is to define the problem an suggest ways of preventing it. Having provided the reader with the evidence pro and con that alcoholism is a disease, the implications of accepting the disease concept will be examined.
回答“酗酒是一种疾病吗？”这个问题，对于接受治疗的酗酒者、对特定群体（医生和护士、精神科医生、社会工作者、心理学家以及戒酒康复者）的职业责任和能力的判断，以及对于职责是界定该问题并提出预防方法的流行病学家而言，都有着深远的影响。在向读者提供了支持和反对酗酒是一种疾病的证据之后，将审视接受疾病概念所带来的影响。
