Alcoholism is the continued drinking of alcohol despite negative results.[15] Problematic use of alcohol has been mentioned in the earliest historical records, such as in ancient Egypt[16] and in the Bible, and remains widespread; the World Health Organization estimated there were 283 million people with alcohol use disorders worldwide as of 2016[update].[12][13] The term alcoholism was first coined in 1852,[17] but alcoholism and alcoholic are stigmatizing and discourage seeking treatment, so clinical diagnostic terms such as alcohol use disorder or alcohol dependence are used instead.[18][19] <
