  • Drugs and Drug Addiction

CONT

Heavy drinkers are people who drink far more than the recommended limits. They commonly suffer from an AUD [alcohol use disorder], but not all of them do.

OBS

buveur excessif : Cette désignation est parfois considérée comme stigmatisante, étant donné qu'elle souligne la consommation excessive d'alcool comme faisant partie intégrante de l'identité de la personne.
