Main Category, sub-Category or Issue?

Please vote for one of the above and add your thoughts on why you feel it should be a Main Category, sub-Category or Issue? This is extremely important as it will go a long way toward helping configure the final resource.

I think alcoholism is a core topic so it should be defined here as well.

Voted issue for above reason.

Sub-category for Addictions, I would think. No reason to limit addictions only to "drugs", when alcohol is much the same.

Then what would be the actual issue below alcoholism?

Coping with an alcoholic (parent/ spouse)
Overcoming alcoholism
Long term health effects
etc.

Not to be argumentative but if we approach it in this manner, won't we have to do this with everything else? I was hoping that specific issues related to alcoholism would be handled at the issue level, not a sub-issue level but I guess we can examine that possibility too.
