Ep. 334: Is My Drinking a Problem? Understanding Your Risk for Alcohol Use Disorder

What Are The Risk Factors For Alcohol Use Disorder?

If you’ve ever wondered why you seem to struggle with alcohol more than your friends—or why cutting back feels so much harder for you—the answer isn’t simply that you need more willpower.

There isn’t one single reason someone develops alcohol use disorder.

Your risk is shaped by a combination of genetics, mental health, life experiences, environment, stress, culture, coping skills, and your relationship with alcohol itself.

And understanding those risk factors matters because the earlier you recognize that alcohol may be becoming a problem, the earlier you can do something about it.

Dr. Harrison shares an incredibly hopeful statistic in this conversation: 75% of people with substance use disorders go on to recover.

And she encourages us to think about alcohol use disorder the same way we think about other treatable health conditions.
