[edit] Created Stub

I changed this article from a redirect to a stub. The psychiatric diagnosis of alcohol dependence is distinct from the vague term "alcoholism," and is the primary usage of the phrase in medicine and science. Furthermore, the alcoholism article does not adequately discuss the topic. I have linked to alcoholism in the intro which should allow people to find it if that is what they're really looking for. --Elplatt 18:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I changed the sentence about alcohol abuse / dependence and "alcoholism". I don't know if that is what the original author meant, but given the Alcohol Abuse entry, it makes things a little more consistent.Desoto10 (talk) 06:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I suggest that everything below the first two paragraphs gets deleted. It is just a recapitulation of the first paragraph.Desoto10 (talk) 06:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
