Alcohol consumption is a socially and culturally ingrained phenomenon that has been a part of human history for centuries. This has led to the development of cultural alcoholism, which is a term used to describe excessive and problematic drinking within a culture or social group. Social norms and ideas around drinking have shaped the history of many societies, leading to the risk of developing alcohol use disorder (AUD), chronic relapsing brain disease, compulsive alcohol use, loss of control over drinking, and negative emotional states when not using alcohol. Cultural norms about drinking alcohol can affect how and why a person drinks and feels about it. This can have a considerable effect on alcohol-related problems.
