What is alcohol dependence?

Risk factors for alcohol use disorder (alcoholism)


What is alcohol dependence?

Alcohol dependence is a chronic medical condition that typically includes a current or past history of excessive
drinking, a strong craving for alcohol, continued use despite repeated problems with drinking, and an inability to
control alcohol consumption.
Risk factors for al5cohol use disorder (alcoholism)

Risk factors
Alcohol use may begin in the teens, but alcohol use disorder occurs more frequently in the 20s and 30s, though it can start at any age.

Risk factors for alcohol use disorder include:

Steady drinking over time. Drinking too much on a regular basis for an extended period or binge drinking on a regular basis can lead to alcohol-related problems or alcohol use disorder.
Starting at an early age. People who begin drinking — especially binge drinking — at an early age are at a higher risk of alcohol use disorder.
Family history. The risk of alcohol use disorder is higher for people who have a parent or other close relative who has problems with alcohol. This may be influenced by genetic factors.
Depression and other mental health problems. It's common for people with a mental health disorder such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder to have problems with
alcohol or other substances.
History of trauma. People with a history of emotional trauma or other trauma are at increased risk of alcohol use disorder.
Having bariatric surgery. Some research studies indicate that having bariatric surgery may increase the risk of developing alcohol use disorder or of relapsing after recovering from
alcohol use disorder.
Social and cultural factors. Having friends or a close partner who drinks regularly could increase your risk of alcohol use disorder. The glamorous way that drinking is sometimes
portrayed in the media also may send the message that it's OK to drink too much. For young people, the influence of parents, peers and other role models can impact risk.

Where to access help in Australia if struggling with alcohol use

You're likely to start by seeing your primary health care provider. If your provider suspects that you have a problem with alcohol, you may be
referred to a mental health provider.

To assess your problem with alcohol, your provider will likely:

Ask you some questions related to your drinking habits. The provider may ask for permission to speak with family members or friends. However,
confidentiality laws prevent your provider from giving out any information about you without your consent.
Perform a physical exam. Your health care provider may do a physical exam and ask questions about your health. There are many physical signs that
indicate complications of alcohol use.
Suggest lab tests and imaging tests. While there are no specific tests to diagnose alcohol use disorder, certain patterns of lab test results may
strongly suggest it. And you may need tests to identify health problems that may be linked to your alcohol use. Damage to your organs may be seen
on tests.
Complete a psychological evaluation. This evaluation includes questions about your symptoms, thoughts, feelings and behavior patterns. You may
be asked to complete a questionnaire to help answer these questions.
