What Is Alcohol Addiction?

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic, progressive condition where a person can’t control or stop drinking, even when it causes harm. It can affect anyone high performers, caregivers, college students, parents, executives and it rarely looks like the stereotypes.

Alcohol affects the brain’s reward and stress systems. Over time, it can rewire your emotional regulation, memory, and decision-making creating both psychological and physical dependence.

“I didn’t drink all the time. But when I did, I couldn’t stop.”

Signs of Alcohol Use Disorder

Icon

Drinking More Than Intended

You often drink longer or heavier than planned, and stopping feels difficult.

Using Alcohol to Cope or Sleep

Relying on alcohol to relax, handle stress, or fall asleep can signal emotional dependence.

Blackouts or Risky Behavior

Memory gaps, impaired judgment, or dangerous decisions while drinking are serious red flags.

Emotional Discomfort Without It

Feelings of irritability, anxiety, or depression arise when you're not drinking.

Hiding or Downplaying Use

You avoid telling the truth about how much you drink or feel the need to cover it up.

Increased Tolerance Over Time

Needing more alcohol to feel the same buzz may mean your body is adapting to heavy use.
