Code retired 2018-05-07 after discussion with Allan Garland. Use [[Alcohol chronic abuse/dependence/addiction]].
*When should this be coded rather than [[Alcohol chronic abuse/dependence/addiction]]? For example is it used on occasional alcohol users? Or is meant for problematic alcohol use? What will be the operational guideline finding that in a chart, though? Ttenbergen 19:19, 2018 April 10 (CDT)
** AG REPLY --- this code is DISTINCT from all the other alcohol codes that relate to acute or chronic abuse, intoxication, etc.  It exists along with its "cousins" [[Tobacco use]] and [[Illicit drug use]] just to indicate use.  But, given that neither tobacco or alcohol is illegal, and we already have codes for abuse of those substances, I now think we SHOULD remove those 2.  However, we should retain Illicit drug use. OK?}}
