The main reason that alcohol addiction is so deadly is that dependence on alcohol develops gradually and people often do not notice the early warning signs of alcoholism. Another contributing factor is that our society finds it completely acceptable to drink a couple beers after work, sip wine at garden parties, or enjoy a few cocktails at happy hour.
