Janet's collogues started to avoid her out of fear and lack of their knowledge of epilepsy.

    June went wrong when she decided to have a variety of drinks. She could have just stayed sober and that way she would’ve woken up feeling great, wide awake and not light headed. Women tend to have more body fat then men, alcohol doesn’t move easily into fatty tissues so the chemical circulates into the bloodstream longer in women. Generally women make lower amounts of the enzyme that’s needed to metabolize alcohol, which is why June feels so hung over. Also, consuming large amounts of alcohol depresses the ability to control thought processes and muscular movements.…

    Under the normativist theory of disease as described by Joseph Margolis, diseases are identified as conditions that are considered departures from social norms or values. The notion of value judgements is used to determine whether such a condition is considered socially normal or abnormal.

In this paper, I will attempt to support Margolis’ claim about the normativist view of disease by arguing that alcoholism is a disease, in the normativist sense.…
