Abstract
This commentary is based on a Plenary Address at th 2006 Meetingof the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) held in Sydney, Australia, which posed the simple question: Is There a Future for Quantifying Drinking in the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention of Alcohol Use Disorders? The intention is to stimulate dialogue among the many disciplines represented in the alcohol field about where we should be going with respect to diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorders (AUDs), now that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have launched initiatives for the construction of the fifth revision of the APA Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-V) and the l1th edition of the WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).Keywords
