Approximately one-third of US adults experience recent unhealthy alcohol use, and of those, one in seven suffer from alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS), according to a new US population-based study with substantial clinical implications. Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal in heavy drinkers are linked to considerable distress and functional impairment, poorer long-term drinking and other health outcomes, greater likelihood of hospitalization, and higher healthcare costs and morbidity and mortality risk. The estimated prevalence of AWS varies widely. Little is known about its manifestations among people in the general population with unhealthy alcohol use, limiting clinicians’ ability to identify patients at risk of AWS. Better information on AWS could enhance its prevention and timely, targeted treatment efforts.
