Artists and public people who died of alcoholism make it clear that this disease does not depend on social status, financial status or success.

Spirits are the best-selling product on the market today. After all, almost every person consumes alcohol to one degree or another. V general view all people are divided into 3 types: those who do not drink alcohol at all, drink occasionally (on holidays) and those who no longer represent themselves and their own. The latter group suffers from alcoholism.

Alcohol has already ruined many lives. He also managed to put an end to the careers and lives of many famous people. After all creative people due to their vulnerable nature, more than anyone else is subject to this craving. In their photo, you can see the imprint of excessive drinking.

Alcoholism: causes and stages

The disease resulting from excessive drinking is called "alcoholism". In addition to the fact that it is characterized by a significant deterioration in human health, alcoholism is addictive, which a person can hardly overcome on his own.

Until now, there are disputes among doctors about the recognition of alcoholism as a disease, but the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has long decided on this issue, and they consider drunkenness a serious disease that must be treated.

After all, just addiction never ends. Added to it are cancer, liver disease, stomach ulcers, nervous and mental disorders, high blood pressure and heart disease, a high likelihood of a stroke, which, one way or another, will lead the patient to premature death.

The reasons leading a healthy person to alcohol abuse are:

  • Dissatisfaction own life;
  • Feeling of loneliness, lack of understanding on the part of society;
  • Poor quality of life;
  • Lack of cultural and spiritual development.

Analyzing the above reasons, we can say that it is the absence of loving and understanding people nearby that pushes you to drink. Unfortunately in modern world a person can very often feel lonely. After all, everyone is running somewhere, in a hurry, no one cares about other people's problems. And while drinking, a person finds himself in a completely different world - the inner one, where he can talk heart to heart with several of his “I”, where he will always be listened to, understood and not reproached for anything.

After leaving this state, the realities outside world once again they "beat" the person, and he has no choice but to return again and again to the ideal environment.


Experts who agree with the point of view that alcoholism is a disease divide it into 4 stages, arguing that, having reached the third stage, there is no turning back:

  1. Unconscious weak addiction. If a person has free time and the possibility - he will definitely fill the void with alcohol; with distraction, the addiction quickly disappears.
  2. Conscious tolerant addiction. Permanent obsessive thoughts about drinking, even when it is not the time or the place; the amount from which vomiting begins as a natural reaction of the body to poison is constantly increasing.
  3. Physical pathological dependence. When the patient refuses to drink, the patient experiences a "withdrawal", similar to drug addiction; healthy liver cells begin to turn into connective tissue, which indicates the onset of cirrhosis.
  4. Pathological uncontrollable addiction. The only thing the alcoholic is worried about at this stage is another dose of alcohol, no matter if it is vodka, cologne, or glass cleaner. Forced alcohol withdrawal can lead to cardiac arrest; only 5% of patients survive this stage, but even they will never get a full, long and happy life.

The main feature that distinguishes an alcoholic from a healthy person who occasionally drinks is the presence of addiction. You can also name such manifestations as prolonged drinking binges, an increase in the rate of alcohol, in which a person has a gag reflex, symptoms of a hangover; external signals visible even in the photo.

Many famous people also suffer from the problem of alcoholism, and fight the diseases that it provokes. After all, it is they who most often feel lonely and useless. The fame, recognition and love of the audience are combined with prolonged drinking, which subsequently ends in death in young age when many roles and images have not yet been played.

Perhaps the most famous person who was ruined by alcohol is Vladimir Vysotsky. He is an outstanding poet and musician, a talented actor. Perhaps there is no person in Russia who would not recognize him from a photo. He died at the age of 42 due to excessive consumption of alcohol and drugs.

Honored Artist of Russia Vladislav Galkin died at the age of 38 from acute heart failure. He was in a state of prolonged depression due to problems with women. Shortly before his death, Vladislav was diagnosed with pancreatitis, after which he went on a strict diet and refused alcohol. The actor's father suspects that his son did not die on his own, and even presented to the investigation Required documents and a photo, but the matter did not move.

The genius of Russian cinema, Oleg Dal, also suffered from this disease. According to his acquaintances, the reason for this was constant setbacks in his personal life, in addition, he was too demanding and picky about people. This led the artist to consolation by drinking. Oleg died due to cardiac arrest at the age of 39.

Viktor Kosykh (the hero of "The Elusive Avengers") died at the age of 61 due to an overdose of alcohol. A fatal dose of alcohol led to a cerebral hemorrhage. Experts say that a lethal dose is considered to be an average of 1.5 liters of vodka. However, this indicator depends on the individual characteristics of the organism.

More long life succeeded Oleg Efremov, an outstanding director and actor. Throughout his life, he struggled with alcoholism, his life was cut short at 72 years of age due to a blockage of blood vessels.

Also, Andrey Krasko, Nikolai Eremenko, Georgy Yumatov, Georgy Burkov and many others had a similar fate. domestic stars.

Today, these are struggling with this disease famous people like Marat Basharov, Alexander Domogarov and a number of other stars. Among this list, one can also highlight Mikhail Efremov.

Mikhail Efremov, his son famous father Oleg Efremov, completely inherited his father's lifestyle. He is rightly credited with alcoholism and excessive love for women. And the actor himself does not deny his illness. According to him, he drinks for the sake of a hangover, in a state of which playing on stage turns out to be many times better. But at the same time, the artist considers his craving as a "black spot" in his life. Despite the seemingly such difficult situation, Mikhail's fourth wife has come to terms with his peculiarities, and completely accepts him for who he is. In the photo you can see quite happy family... The couple had three wonderful children, and they are not going to stop there.

But not all alcoholic stars died from this. Some have overcome this addiction. For example, the artist Tatyana Dogileva, whose life was almost cut short by constant drunkenness. The attending physicians of the actress prescribed treatment in a psychiatric hospital. She had severe depression caused by the lack of the joy hormone serotonin in her body, which was blocked by alcohol. The actress did not want to admit that she was sick, although fans in some of her photos can clearly see all the signs of alcoholism. Despite the fact that it is female, Tatyana managed to overcome him and start a full-fledged healthy life, restore your status.

Alcohol is considered the cause of death Soviet actress Natalia Kustinskaya, who died at the age of 75. In the hospital, where she was taken with pneumonia, her heart could not stand it. Although this is not surprising, because fate presented Natalia with a lot hard trials, the most terrible of which is considered the death of his son, after which the star developed a tendency to drink. But this did not last long, the artist was able to pull herself together and move on.

There are also famous people abroad who have suffered from alcoholism. These are, for example, Whitney Houston and Amy Wayhouse. Also, perhaps, many have seen photos of Britney Spears, Demi Moore, which clearly show traces of alcohol. According to official statistics 8 out of 10 Hollywood celebrities have alcohol problems.

How to recognize alcoholism by photo, treatment of the disease

Even without communicating with a person in person, you can see that he suffers from this. It will be enough just to look at the photo of the celebrity.

First of all, it will be noticeable on the face: the skin will be flabby, sagging or swollen, with pronounced redness, traces of burst capillaries, bruises and swelling under the eyes are visible in the area of ​​the nose and cheeks. Sometimes in the photo you can see that the skin has acquired a yellow color. This is all due to disturbances in the work of internal organs, such as the liver, kidneys and gallbladder.

It is believed that alcoholism is an incurable disease, a companion of a person's entire life. But modern medical methods give a person the opportunity to get rid of adversity, the main thing is to want it very much. Not worth counting on traditional medicine- in most cases it is inactive.

Among the methods of struggle, the following are distinguished:

  • Aversive treatment - the patient is prescribed medications that, when interacting with alcohol, cause severe vomiting and exacerbation of all hangover symptoms. This method is effective even if the patient resists therapy.
  • Cleansing the body of toxins - the patient's body is completely cleansed of alcohol decomposition products, as a result of which it is suppressed physical addiction from him, but the craving at the psychological level does not disappear.
  • Psychotherapy - will give the desired results only if the patient realizes his addiction and his desire to get rid of it.
  • Social factors are the interaction of an alcoholic with society, his family or people with whom he will not be bored and lonely.

Perhaps the most important thing in the treatment of addiction is the desire of the patient himself, and in order for it to appear, close people need to show how important their family is, how valuable the patient is in his family, and will always receive the necessary support in it.
