I recently came across this term which stands for alcohol use disorder.
It is somewhat ambiguous. Of course enough of the stuff can create massive disorder. Another way of looking at is is to claim that some people have a disorder rendering them unfit to consume alcohol. One must question as to whether alcohol is of sufficient worth to anyone to make it a need for anyone.
Social acceptability, marketing, and the profit nexus of mega corporations tends to get in the way. Alcohol is a poisonous drug containing over fifteen carcinogens, it is a major factor in liver disease, high blood pressure, a concern regarding some cancers, a major factor in violence, road trauma, depression, mental illness, work absenetism, malnutrition, and a host of other nasties.
To see AUD as some sort of lack in utilizing the substance cleverly seems to send the wrong message. Latest medical research indicated that even one std drink can increase heart palpitations by 4% and this happens cumulatively. The pro alcohol lobby has also promoted red wine has a heart helper, when in fact the number of drinks needed to provide such benefit would be round one hundred. So much for shifty marketing. In the bad old days some "scientists" claimed smoking was good for the throat.
Lets not get sucked in, total abstinence is not a missing out on those grapes of wrath or beery bellies it's a blessing.
