Rename to alcohol use disorder

Alcoholism has not been a medical term for decades. It is now referred to as alcohol use disorder to reflect the fact that it is a spectrum and most people who drink excessively are not alcoholics. The page should be renamed. Mleonard85032 (talk) 13:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Two different maps for the same legend ?

The maps of prevalesnce of alcoholim are clearly different yet have the same code/legend. Which one is the correct one ? 137.222.42.24 (talk) 18:51, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the top one is female and bottom male. Can someone confirm and edit the map to match? 46.30.132.204 (talk) 11:28, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request for Section "History"

"led to the prohibition of alcohol in many Western countries" is overly broad. More correct would be "led to the prohibition of alcohol in North America and the Nordic countries". --91.64.59.91 (talk) 19:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
