Define alcohol use disorders (AUDs), and describe the effects of habitual alcohol abuse on a person's life
AUDs, a spectrum of behaviors that encompasses both recurrent excessive drinking and alcoholism, arises when drinking leads to negative physical, legal, and/or social consequences. AUDs are not discriminatory; they affect men and women, young and old, professional and nonprofessional, and rich and poor. Habitual alcohol abuse affects virtually every aspect of a person's life, including family relationships and performance at work and at school. Arrests related to public intoxication, driving while under the influence of alcohol, and other alcohol-related crimes often result in substantial legal problems.
