This week on Wellbeing, we begin a series looking at Alcohol Use Disorder (formally
known as alcoholism). Our first guest of this five-part series is Professor John B.

Saunders, a consultant physician in internal medicine and addiction medicine. In 1989,
through The World Health Organisation, Professor Saunders developed the Alcohol Use
Disorders Identification Test, the most widely used alcohol screening test in the world.
In this episode, he defines what alcohol is, how it effects and changes the brain, how
long alcohol use disorder takes to develop, and how it affects people differently. Tune in
next week for Prof. Saunders’ second episode looking into this topic.
We would love to hear from you! If you would like to suggest topics, give us feedback,
or just say hi, you can contact us on wellbeing@2nurfm.com.
