Alcoholism, clinically known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic disease characterized by an inability to control or stop alcohol use despite negative consequences. It's more than just heavy drinking—it affects a person’s physical health, mental well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. Recognizing the symptoms of alcoholism early is critical to getting help and beginning the path to recovery.
