Most people are unaware there is a line comprised of the three stages of drinking: alcohol use, abuse and dependence, believing instead that drinking is either 'normal' or 'alcoholic.' Most people are unaware there are increments along the line itself, that 35% of American adults never drink alcohol, or that 37% of American adults always drink within 'low-risk' drinking limits. Thus examining and challenging the common myths from a scientific perspective can help readers recognize what it takes to cross the line from alcohol use to abuse to dependence and what it takes to stop the progression.
