ICD-Code F10.2: Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of alcohol Dependence syndrome
You are dependent on alcohol.
When you are addicted to alcohol, you have a constant desire to consume it. As a result, you may find it difficult to control your consumption or may need more and more alcohol. Not drinking alcohol may then lead to you having physical or mental problems. The addiction may cause you to neglect other things in your day-to-day life.
