[{"role": "system", "content": "Alcoholism, also known as alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a broad term for any drinking of alcohol that results in mental or physical health problems. The disorder was previously divided into two types: alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence. In a medical context, alcoholism is said to exist when two or more of the following conditions is present: a person drinks large amounts over a long time period, has difficulty cutting down, acquiring and drinking alcohol takes up a great deal of time, alcohol is strongly desired, usage results in not fulfilling responsibilities, usage results in social problems, usage results in health problems, usage results in risky situations, withdrawal occurs when stopping, and alcohol tolerance has occurred with use. Risky situations include drinking and driving or having unsafe sex, among other things. Alcohol use can affect all parts of the body, but it particularly affects the brain, heart, liver, pancreas, and immune system. This can result in mental illness, Wernicke\u2013Korsakoff syndrome, an irregular heartbeat, cirrhosis of the liver, and an increase in the risk of cancer, among other diseases. Drinking during pregnancy can cause damage to the baby resulting in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "What does it mean to suffer from alcoholism?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It basically means drinking alcohol to the point of mental or physical damage to your body."}, {"role": "user", "content": "When was the term Alcoholism first coined?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Not quite sure, though it was previously divided into two types, which were alcohol abuse and dependence."}, {"role": "user", "content": "But now it is simply one disorder?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That's right, just alcoholism!
