Which of the following is NOT a stage in the development of alcoholism?

Dependent drinking
Morning drinking
Social drinking
Heavy drinking

The correct answer is: Morning drinking

The correct answer is morning drinking, as this term does not specifically represent a recognized stage in the development of alcoholism. The stages of alcoholism generally referred to include social drinking, which is characterized by moderate alcohol consumption in social contexts, dependent drinking, where an individual develops a reliance on alcohol, and heavy drinking, indicating a more advanced level of consumption that can lead to severe negative consequences on health and social functioning. Morning drinking may indicate problematic behavior but does not classify as an official stage of alcoholism development recognized in models of alcohol dependence. It could signify an individual’s problematic relationship with alcohol but is not a formal category in the established stages of alcoholism. Understanding these classifications helps to identify and address alcohol misuse more effectively.
