More than 14.5 million people 12 years of age or older in the United States meet the clinical criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD), and more than 1 in 4 adults over 18 years of age reported at least one episode of binge drinking within the previous 90 days. In this episode, nurse practitioners Dr. Laura Leahy and Colleen Barry share their experience and offer insights on AUD.
