The DSM-5 defines AUD as a problematic pattern of alcohol use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by at least

booze shame warning

2 of those previous 11 symptoms occurring within a 12-month period.

The number of symptoms determines the severity:

2 to 3 symptoms for mild AUD,

4 to 5 for moderate, and

6 or more for severe.
