Question by livelaughlove: Which branch of biology would this go under?
I had to read a book over teen alcoholism including stories of 4 teens and what they went through to get over their addiction. Now i have to write a report over it, and the outline asks to include the branch of biology the book is over. Can someone help me out choosing which one? Thanks!

I would say that it would be appropriate to include it under “physiology” and “psychology” in that the addiction effects the metabolism of the body and also the brain in creating an addiction to alcohol.

The only biological thing there would be alcohol metabolism but it doesn’t seem to be what the book was about. It seems more like a pschology problem or sociology.
