Minimal Alcohol Withdrawal Severity
Expressions activating this band show no clear withdrawal syndrome and instead contain unrelated health, administrative, or general substance-use content, with at most vague acknowledgment of drinking-related problems.
Mild Alcohol Withdrawal Severity
Expressions activating this band describe early or limited withdrawal-related disturbance, such as sweating during the night or early morning and emerging difficulty controlling drinking, without clear evidence of marked neurological disruption.
Moderate Alcohol Withdrawal Severity
Expressions activating this band describe clinically notable withdrawal features such as tremor, morning drinking for relief, confusion, or significant memory disturbance, indicating a more established withdrawal state.
Severe Alcohol Withdrawal Severity
Expressions activating this band describe intense withdrawal with pronounced shaking, marked unsteadiness, or delirium-like symptoms such as seeing or hearing things that are not there, reflecting acute and dangerous withdrawal.

Minimal Alcohol Use: Alcohol use is present at a low level. Expressions activating this band reflect early or diffuse alcohol use.
Moderate Alcohol Use: Alcohol use is experienced here as observable behavioral patterns associated with problematic or disordered functioning. Unlike the band below, where alcohol use was characterized by a general or mixed form, the proxy here has shifted in character. Expressions activating this band engage with alcohol use at a level associated with formal behavioral assessment.
Intense Alcohol Use: Alcohol use is present here in a general or mixed form without a single dominant facet. Unlike the band below, where alcohol use was characterized by the behavioral form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band may reflect general or diffuse alcohol use.
Peak Alcohol Use: Alcohol use is experienced here as observable behavioral patterns associated with problematic or disordered functioning. Unlike the band below, where alcohol use was characterized by a general or mixed form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band engage with alcohol use at a level associated with formal behavioral assessment.
