Alcohol abuse means having unhealthy or dangerous drinking habits, such as drinking every day or drinking too much at a time. Alcohol abuse can harm your relationships, cause you to miss work, and lead to legal problems such as driving while drunk (intoxicated).

You have tried to quit drinking or to cut back the amount you drink but haven't been able to. You continue to drink even though it harms your relationships and causes physical problems.
