Alcoholism is considered a disease. Old age is a stage in life. One thing has nothing to do with the other.

if you suffer from alcoholism you will not live to see old age!!
however, I disagree that the symptoms seem to be the same.

You really need to do some more research – you are so far off base with that statement it is not even amusing.

Alot of things seem to be the same but aren’t.

But they are not necessarily the same.

Not really. It can be bad enough that you don’t make it to old age. My husband tells me that most of the people he grew up with in rural Russia and now dead. Many have been dead for years. (He is 73.)

The symptoms are not really similar, not more than surface validity.
You have to draw a line between “alcoholism” and “being drunk”. Alcholics are not always always drunk (the double word was intentional).
Old age is not addictive (at all. Sometimes the opposite, in fact) – you don’t depend on it, crave it, or suffer severely if you don’t have it. The effects on memory are very different. Recovery rates and styles HUGELY different. Old age rarely makes you act like you’re drunk (impulsive, less inhibited, etc). You do not regularly become deceitful in your old age, as you do when an alcoholic (hiding evidence, etc)
