Definition of Alcohol abuse


Alcohol abuse: Use of alcoholic beverages to
excess, either on individual occasions ("binge drinking")
or as a regular practice. For some individuals-children or
pregnant women, for example-almost any amount of alcohol
use may be legally considered "alcohol abuse," depending on
local laws. Heavy alcohol abuse can cause physical damage
and death.
