Prevention of alcoholism is best accomplished by abstinence. You must first have access to alcohol before becoming an alcoholic. A strong family history of alcoholism is a warning that you are at increased risk of becoming an alcoholic. Increased awareness of such a risk may help modify your attitude toward alcohol consumption. A strong social support system and early medical or psychiatric intervention may also help prevent the escalating consumption of alcohol so characteristic of alcoholism.
