A lot of concepts have seen a transformation in past two centuries and one of them is change in moral and cultural values of societies. Use of Alcohol was earlier seen as a status symbol, but with time, it turned into a form of addiction for many. Reasons and factors did vary from regions and different cultures. Regrettably, it took more time to understand that alcoholism is a drug addiction. "Because we have been led to believe that drug addiction or alcohol addiction is a disease. We have been told that the only way to "recuperate" is to attend treatment and endless AA, NA meetings for the rest of our lives. " Any drug addiction as well as alcohol addiction is not a disease rather a choice. One does not has to be a passive bystander to an illusory disease of drug addiction or alcohol addiction; one should give up his willpower; be marked as an alcoholic or "in recovery"; or turn up meetings and treatment for the rest of his/her life! Those that are struggling with alcohol addiction or any other drug addiction reach to a conclusion that larlgely the typical thinking is not working in their favour.

The increased number of young drug addicts in America is because drugs are spreading like an epidemic. One should not only worry about the street drugs by cheap drug sellers. But there are also drugs that are sold legally which only requires a prescription to buy. The worst part is that teenagers have access to these drugs with any hurdles. Similarly, alcohol addiction starts with a pack of beer or two. Not to forget the same beers those are advertised on national television.

And when the cigarette manufacturers and sellers are questioned for selling such a product, they reply by saying we put the warning labels on the packs but yet the consumers love it. Then comes the products manufactured by research and pharmaceutical companies. Companies with approvals from legalizing organization distribute all kinds of body and mind relaxing products. Drug addiction has become a virus now that is constantly evolving all over the globe. No matter how hard the government tries with its “anti-drug campaigns” and television commercials, it does not seem to affect the youth.
