Global Consumption of Alcohol [Consumo de Álcool no Mundo]
About Alcohol Use Disorders and Alcoholism, from National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA):
Alcohol use disorders are medical conditions that doctors can diagnose when a patient’s drinking causes distress or harm. In the United States, about 18 million people have an alcohol use disorder, classified as either alcohol dependence—perhaps better known as alcoholism—or alcohol abuse.
Alcoholism, the more serious of the disorders, is a disease that includes symptoms such as:
- Craving — A strong need, or urge, to drink.
- Loss of control — Not being able to stop drinking once drinking has begun.
- Physical dependence — Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety after stopping drinking.
- Tolerance — The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol to feel the same effect.

O alcoolismo, mais grave das desordens, é uma doença que inclui sintomas tais como:
Desejo – A necessidade forte ou desejo de beber.
Perda de controle – Não ser capaz de parar de beber depois que já começou.
Dependência física – Na retirada, presença de sintomas como náuseas, sudorese, tremores e ansiedade após parar de beber.
Tolerância – A necessidade de beber quantidades maiores de álcool para sentir o mesmo efeito.
