Question by 525: Why does the body become addicted to alcohol?
I’m looking for more than the psychological reasons, any person that drinks only a beer a day for a year will become ill if they stop drinking that one beer. What kind of chemical composition in the brain (?) makes the body crave something that is so horrible for it?

Thanks all.

There’s a chemical reaction when the brain and the beer’s chemical meets that makes the person drunk and gets addiction
I’m not a drinker if you’re wondering
