Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Religious beliefs may be affected, but they are not a necessary criterion for a diagnosis of alcoholism. The DSM-5 criteria for alcohol use disorder include impaired control over alcohol use, social and occupational problems related to alcohol use, risky use of alcohol, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, and continued use despite negative consequences. None of these criteria directly pertains to religious beliefs.
