Alcohol Use Disorder

Excessive alcohol use is defined as drinking alcohol in amounts or with a frequency that causes harm to their health, relationships, or ability to function.
Binge drinking, which involves consuming large amounts of alcohol in a short period, and heavy alcohol use, defined as consuming more than 14 drinks per week for men and more than seven drinks per week for women, are generally considered to be indicators of dangerous alcohol use.
