In its more-than-50-year history, NIAAA, as part of The National Institutes of Health, has led the effort to support alcohol research, which has led to a reframing of alcohol use disorder as a medical—rather than a moral—issue. In pursuit of its mission, NIAAA has conducted and supported research that has improved our understanding of the effects of alcohol on health and well-being, as well as informed legislation and attitudes toward alcohol in our society.
