| ==Overview==

| Alcohol abuse, as described in the [[DSM-IV]], is a psychiatric diagnosis describing the use of [[alcoholic beverage|alcoholic beverages]] despite negative consequences. It is differentiated from [[alcohol dependence]] by the lack of symptoms such as [[Drug tolerance|tolerance]] and [[withdrawal]].
