What is Alcoholism? Alcoholism and alcohol abuse cause major social, economic and public health problems. Each year, more than 100,000 people die of alcohol-related causes. The annual cost of lost productivity and health expenses related to alcoholism is more than $100 billion. According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, more than 13 million Americans abuse alcohol.

Drinking problems in people who do not have all the characteristics of alcoholism are often referred to as "alcohol abuse" or "problem drinking." These individuals engage in excessive drinking that results in health or social problems but are not dependent on alcohol and have not fully lost control over the use of alcohol.
