The essential feature of alcohol abuse is the maladaptive
use of alcohol with recurrent and significant adverse consequences related to
its repeated use. Alcoholism is the popular term for two disorders, alcohol
abuse and alcohol dependence. The hallmarks of both these disorders involve
repeated life problems that can be directly attributed to the use of alcohol.
Both these disorders can have serious consequences, affecting an individual’s
health and personal life, as well as having an impact on society at large.
