=== Warfare === [[File:A Soldier Drinks a Pint of Beer on his Return from Afghanistan MOD 45152497.jpg|thumb|left|A British soldier drinks a pint of beer on returning from a deployment to [[Afghanistan]].]] {{main|Use of drugs in warfare}} Alcohol has a long association of military use, and has been called "liquid courage" for its role in preparing troops for battle. It has also been used to anaesthetize injured soldiers, celebrate military victories, and cope with the emotions of defeat. Military and veteran populations face significant challenges in addressing the co-occurrence of [[PTSD]] and [[alcohol use disorder]]. While existing interventions show promise, more research is needed to evaluate their effectiveness for this specific population, and new tailored interventions should be developed and evaluated to better meet their unique needs.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Dworkin |first1=ER |last2=Bergman |first2=HE |last3=Walton |first3=TO |last4=Walker |first4=DD |last5=Kaysen |first5=DL |title=Co-Occurring Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder in U.S. Military and Veteran Populations. |journal=Alcohol Research: Current Reviews |date=2018 |volume=39 |issue=2 |pages=161β169 |pmid=31198655 |pmc=6561402}}</ref>
