Happy Hours: Alcohol in a Woman's Life Problem drinkers often deny they have a problem with alcohol abuse. Often they're sure terms such as "alcoholic" and "alcoholism" don't apply to them ... or to the role alcohol plays in their lives. When they finally make it to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, they're forced to admit their vulnerability and told it's a disease.
