Description
Codes that indicate hazardous alcohol drinking behavior. Future studies that require to specify ex-drinker and current-drinker need to revisit and review this codelist.
Methodology
These codes were mapped first in SNOMED using the opencodelist builder. The search terms used were:
- Alcohol
Codes indicating:
- acute alcohol issues: such as binge drinking, evidence of recent excessive drinking behavior without necessarily being alcoholic
- chronic alcohol issues current: i.e. current evidence 'alcoholic' drinking
- chronic alcohol issues previous: i.e. those who have been previously described as alcoholics. It's hard to distinguish these at times from current alcoholics (e.g. history of alcoholism). were included.
The codes were discussed by 1 practicing clinicians and 1 epidemiologist. A summary of the discussion is available on the github issue below.
These codes were mapped to CTV3 which resulted in 247 codes.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.
We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
