The ancient Macedonians were well known among the Greeks for their excessive drinking habits. One historian's theory states that Alexander the Great likely suffered from alcoholism because of feelings of personal inadequacy. Many people are affected today with similar problems, and even the best DUI lawyers and therapists realize that it is imperative they receive treatment before they succumb to alcoholism.
