NHSA Module 8 Practice Test

A person must get drunk to become an alcoholic.

True Sometimes It depends on genetics False

Correct Answer:

False

Explanation:

Alcohol use disorder is defined by a pattern of problematic drinking and its consequences, not by a single instance of intoxication. People can develop dependence, cravings, tolerance, withdrawal, and impairment in work, relationships, or health even if they don’t regularly reach a state of being “drunk.” Genetics and environment can influence risk, but there isn’t a required step where someone must get drunk to become alcoholic. The diagnosis focuses on ongoing use and its impact, not on a particular level of intoxication, so the idea that intoxication is required is not accurate.
