A nurse might ask a person who has entered treatment for alcohol dependence a simple inquiry like "What negative repercussions have resulted from your drinking?"

What is alcohol dependence?

  • It is a chronic medical illness marked by a present or previous history of binge drinking, a strong desire for alcohol, ongoing usage despite previous drinking difficulties, and an inability to control alcohol consumption.
  • Women who drink 8 or more drinks per week and males who consume 15 or more drinks per week are considered heavy drinkers.
  • Excessive drinking does not necessarily indicate that someone has an alcohol addiction, but it does place them at a higher risk of developing one.
