Alcohol-related disorders
Alcohol-Related Disorders
In most cultures, alcohol is the most frequently used brain depressant and a cause of considerable morbidity and mortality. At some time in their lives, as many as 90% of adults in the United States have had some experience with alcohol, and a substantial number (60% of males and 30% of females) have had one or more alcohol-related adverse life events (e.g., driving after consuming too much alcohol, missing school or work due to a hangover). Fortunately, most individuals learn from these experiences and moderate their drinking, thus avoiding Alcohol Dependence or Abuse.
This section contains discussions specific to the Alcohol-Related Disorders. Texts and criteria sets have already been provided earlier for the generic aspects of Substance Dependence (p. 192) and Substance Abuse (p. 198) that apply across all substances. The application of those general criteria to Alcohol Dependence and Abuse is provided below. However, there are no additional unique criteria sets for Alcohol Dependence or Alcohol Abuse. Specific texts and criteria sets for Alcohol Intoxication and Alcohol Withdrawal are also provided below. The Alcohol-Induced Disorders (other than Alcohol Intoxication and Withdrawal) are described in the sections of the manual with disorders with which they share phenomenology (e.g., Alcohol-Induced Mood Disorder is included in the "Mood Disorders" section). Listed below are the Alcohol Use Disorders and the Alcohol-Induced Disorders.
