Dependency on alcohol, also known as alcohol addiction and alcoholism 4, is a chronic disease. The signs and symptoms of alcohol dependence includeâ. 1  A strong craving for alcohol. 2  Continued use despite repeated physical, psychological, or interpersonal problems. 3  The inability to limit drinking.ccording to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism binge drinking is defined as a pattern of alcohol consumption that brings the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to 0.08% or more.
The blue-black/purple tongue gene appears to be dominant, as most mixed breed dogs that come from a Chow Chow retain that tongue colour. However, the blue-black/purple tongue can also be found on the Shar Pei.
Because Chows are the dogs most known as having black or black-spotted tongues, some mistakenly assume that a dog with a black tongue is a Chow or at least part Chow. In reali â¦ ty, there are many other breeds of dog that may have black spots on their tongue or gums. The Chinese Shar-Pei (commonly referred to as the 'wrinkle dog') is another breed that is known to have a black tongue. Many breeds are known to have tongues or gums with black spots, prompting less knowledgeable owners to think they may have a dog that is of mixed parentage rather than a purebred.
