Hear professor Robert Dudley of University of California, Berkeley explain the drunken monkey hypothesis on why humans drink and abuse alcohol

alcoholism , excessive and repetitive drinking of alcoholic beverages to the extent that the drinker repeatedly is harmed or harms others. The harm may be physical or mental; it may also be social, legal, or economic. Because such use is usually considered to be compulsive and under markedly diminished voluntary control, alcoholism is considered by a majority of, but not all, clinicians as an addiction and a disease .

The concept of inveterate drunkenness as a disease appears to be rooted in antiquity. The Roman philosopher Seneca classified it as a form of insanity . The term alcoholism , however, appeared first in the classical essay “Alcoholismus Chronicus” (1849) by the Swedish physician Magnus Huss. The phrase chronic alcoholism rapidly became a medical term for the condition of habitual inebriety, and the bearer of the “disease” was called an alcoholic or alcoholist (e.g., Italian alcoolisto , French alcoolique , German Alkoholiker , Spanish alcohólico , Swedish alkoholist ).

Alcoholism is a complex, many-sided phenomenon, and its many formal definitions vary according to the point of view of the definer. A simplistic definition calls alcoholism a disease caused by chronic , compulsive drinking. A purely pharmacological-physiological definition of alcoholism classifies it as a drug addiction that requires imbibing increasing doses to produce desired effects and that causes a withdrawal syndrome when drinking is stopped. This definition is inadequate, however, because alcoholics, unlike other drug addicts, do not always need ever-increasing doses of alcohol . Opium addicts, on the other hand, become so adapted to the drug that they can survive more than a hundred times the normal lethal dose, but the increased amounts to which alcoholics become adapted are rarely above the normal single lethal dose. Moreover, the withdrawal syndromes in alcoholism occur inconsistently, sometimes failing to appear in a person who has experienced them before and never occurring in some drinkers whose destructive behaviour is otherwise not distinguishable from that of someone who is pharmacologically dependent on alcohol.

A third definition, behavioral in nature, defines alcoholism as a disorder in which alcohol assumes marked salience in the individual’s life and in which the individual experiences a loss of control over its desired use. In this definition, alcoholism may or may not involve physiological dependence , but invariably it is characterized by alcohol consumption that is sufficiently great to cause regret and repeated physical, mental, social, economic, or legal difficulties. Clinicians call such a behavioral disorder a disease because it persists for years, is strongly hereditary, and is a major cause of death and disability. In addition, alcohol permanently alters the brain’s plasticity with regard to free choice over beginning or stopping drinking episodes. As with other medical diseases but unlike most bad habits, prospective studies demonstrate that willpower per se is of little predictive significance.

An informed minority opinion, especially among sociologists, believes that the medicalization of alcoholism is an error. Unlike most disease symptoms, the loss of control over drinking does not hold true at all times or in all situations. The alcoholic is not always under internal pressure to drink and can sometimes resist the impulse to drink or can drink in a controlled way. The early symptoms of alcoholism vary from culture to culture, and recreational public drunkenness may sometimes be mislabeled alcoholism by the prejudiced observer. In the general population, variation in daily alcohol consumption is distributed along a smooth continuum . This characteristic is inconsistent with the medical model, which implies that alcoholism is either present or absent—as is the case, for example, with pregnancy or a brain tumour. For such reasons, the sociological definition regards alcoholism as merely one symptom of social deviance and believes its diagnosis often lies in the eyes and value system of the beholder. For example, periodic intoxication can cause sickness necessitating days of absence from work. In a modern industrial community , this makes alcoholism similar to a disease. In a rural Andean society, however, the periodic drunkenness that occurs at appointed communal fiestas and results in sickness and suspension of work for several days is normal behaviour. It should be noted that this drunkenness at fiestas is a choice and does not produce regret. If the sociological model were entirely correct, alcoholism should often be expected to disappear with maturation as is the case with many other symptoms of social deviance. This does not occur, however.

Finally, epidemiologists need a definition of alcoholism that enables them to identify alcoholics within a population that may not be available for individual examination. To define alcoholism they may rely on quantity and frequency measurements of reported community drinking and alcohol-related hospitalizations, on a formula based on the frequency of deaths from cirrhosis within the population, or on arrests for alcohol-related misbehaviour.

The Impact of Alcoholic Beverages on Human Health

Peter anderson.

As summarized in the World Health Organization’s latest Global Status Report on Alcohol, the pleasure of alcohol is indicated by the fact that, worldwide, just over two-fifths of the population aged 15+ years drink alcohol; 2.3 billion people, consuming nearly 35 billion litres of pure ethanol a year, equivalent to just over three drinks (33 g of pure ethanol) a day (see [ 1 ]).

The pain of alcohol is indicated in the collection of papers in this special issue: ethanol in alcoholic beverages is toxic to human health, causing 7.1% of all deaths amongst those aged less than 70 years (two million deaths a year), with the three top causes of death being cirrhosis of the liver, road injuries, and tuberculosis [ 1 ]. In addition, through a combination of brain damage due to consuming alcohol and genetic predisposition, some 4% of adults experience what is termed alcohol dependence, a complex behavioural syndrome that has at its core the inability to control alcohol consumption despite adverse social, occupational or health consequences [ 2 ].

  • Is a teratogen [ 3 ];
  • Is genotoxic and a carcinogen [ 4 , 5 ];
  • Is hepatotoxic [ 6 ];
  • Is neurotoxic to the brain [ 2 ];
  • Causes injuries [ 7 ];
  • Causes a range of cardiovascular diseases [ 8 ];
  • Increases the risk of a range of communicable diseases, including HIV, TB, pneumonia, and COVID-19 infection [ 9 ]; and
  • May or may not increase the risk of overweight and obesity [ 10 ].

For most conditions, the dose–response curves increase from zero consumption upwards, with many curves being exponential [ 11 ]. The exception to this is that some alcohol consumption protects some people against ischaemic diseases to some degree, with potential benefits occurring at about 1 drink every other day [ 8 ]; this is an hormetic effect to an environmental agent characterized by a low dose beneficial effect and a high dose toxic effect, that, for ethanol, may be a consequence of human ancestral exposure to naturally occurring low levels of ethanol from ripe fruit [ 12 ]. On the other side, though, margins of exposure analysis indicate that the present average daily consumption amongst drinkers across the world (33 g of ethanol a day) exceeds typically accepted thresholds indicating health risks for carcinogens by some 10,000 [ 5 ].

The question this supplement raises, is the pleasure worth the pain?

Governments and governmental organizations seem to consider that the pleasure is worth the pain. As Stockwell and colleagues point out, it is possible to provide very specific and detailed advice to governments regarding the public health consequences of policy decisions in such concrete terms as how many people will become ill, injured or die prematurely from alcohol-related reasons if policy X or Y is not introduced [ 13 ]. Yet, almost all countries fall far short of implementing effective public health policies to reduce the harm done by alcohol [ 13 ]. Further, despite alcohol being a carcinogen, [ 4 , 5 ], at least in Europe, health warning labels are notable by their absence [ 14 ]. Additionally, even for people who run into problems, including alcohol dependence, there seems a lack of care and treatment. As Nutt and colleagues point out, it remains the case that, to date, only three pharmacotherapies are licensed for alcohol dependence and only 9% of such individuals receive such treatment [ 2 ]; there is simply no moral outrage from non-governmental organizations.

The alcohol industry also seems to consider that the pleasure is worth the pain. Product reformulation of existing products to contain less alcohol, and more extensive market penetration of no and low alcohol products could lead to consumers drinking less ethanol (see [ 15 ]). Yet, overall, there seem to be only very limited moves in this direction [ 15 ], and the alcohol industry continues to counter the implementation of effective policies that could reduce the harm done by alcohol [ 13 ].

Why is there a dissonance between what the science says about alcohol’s toxicity, and the failure to prevent two million deaths a year amongst the under seventies and provide adequate treatment to the 4% of adults who experience alcohol dependence? Stockwell et al. [ 13 ] mention four reasons:

  • lack of public awareness of both need and the effectiveness of policies;
  • lack of government regulatory mechanisms to implement effective policies;
  • alcohol industry lobbying; and,
  • a failure from the public health community to promote specific and feasible actions as opposed to general principles, e.g., ‘increased prices’ or ‘reduced affordability’.

What would be a litmus test of change that we take the pain of alcohol seriously?

The simple specific take of this editorial:

The alcohol industry places a warning label on its products: ALCOHOL CAUSES CANCER .

Such an (unlikely) action would:

  • Shame governments for failing to protect their citizens against a known carcinogen; and,
  • Demonstrate that the alcohol industry is serious in taking responsibility for its products.

The Truth About the Health Benefits of Alcohol

New research challenges long-held beliefs about the perks of drinking..

Posted August 10, 2024 | Reviewed by Margaret Foley

  • What Is Alcoholism?
  • Find counselling to overcome addiction
  • Scientists and clinicians have long debated about the health benefits conferred by alcohol use.
  • A worldwide study sheds light on the relationship between drinking and chronic diseases.
  • The findings challenge the notion of health benefits of drinking for those under 40.

Although it has been widely believed for decades that there are health benefits linked with moderate amounts of alcohol consumption, not everyone who drinks experiences health benefits from it. According to the largest study evaluating the relationship between alcohol use and chronic disease, which included over 1 billion people across the world, the safety and potential benefits of drinking alcohol depend largely on your age. Specifically, this groundbreaking study found that there are no health benefits of drinking among those who are under the age of 40 . This younger group is not only susceptible to the health risks and harms related to alcohol use (including motor vehicle accidents, injuries, and suicides related to drinking), but alcohol consumption did not benefit their health or reduce their risk of chronic diseases.

What about those who are over the age of 40?

  • People who are over 40 may see health benefits from alcohol use, including reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes.
  • Reduced risks of these chronic diseases were observed among people without underlying health conditions.
  • These benefits are linked with the use of a limited quantity of alcohol (i.e., no more than one to two standa rd drinks per day).

What should people who drink keep in mind to stay in the “healthy” zone?

  • The potential health benefits of drinking small to moderate quantities of alcohol for certain people not only vanish if a person who is drinking moderately transitions to heavy drinking, but they are replaced with various potential health risks.
  • Health risks for those who drink heavily can include high blood pressure, liver disease, and the development of addiction .
  • The limited quantities of alcohol use that may be linked to health benefits for certain people over 40 are “daily” guidelines and do not apply cumulatively (i.e., “saving up” four days’ worth of daily drinks and having them all on one day is considered heavy drinking—with potential health risks rather than benefits).

If you or someone you know drinks alcohol, it is important to bring intention to the quantity that you consume, with knowledge of what is considered heavy or risky alcohol use.

How much is too much?

  • Consuming more than three drinks in one day for women, or more than four for men, is considered heavy drinking.
  • Problematic drinking is defined not only by the quantity of alcohol a person consumes, but also by one’s ability to control their use of alcohol.
  • When a person is losing control over their drinking, they may frequently drink more than they planned to; make rules for themselves about how much or how often they will drink but have trouble keeping them; experience withdrawal symptoms when the effects of alcohol wear off; have problems in important relationships or in meeting responsibilities because of their drinking; experience cravings; and/or find themselves continuing to drink despite some of these problems.

If you or someone you care about has trouble controlling their alcohol use, consult a professional. I cover this topic in more depth in my book, Addiction: What Everyone Needs to Know , and on my podcast .
