“My psychiatrist prefers to say that I have a ‘substance use disorder’ and cautions that the old ‘alcoholism’ model isn’t very scientific.”
Seriously! The new model and terminology have been around for a decade or so! Why aren’t more people aware of them yet? throws hands up in frustration
But, having said that, now deny that you have an alcohol use disorder without sounding like you have an alcohol use disorder😏
Because the new terms been around a decade and we’ve used alcoholism as the term for a century or more, it will take time even if people prefer the new terms.

Fortunately, alcohol is a solution. Unfortunately, far from modern.

Pure Ethanol isn’t a solution it’s a solvent!
