This is what I wrote on the talk page of this article:

Question about Lead[edit]
Hello fellow Wikkipedians, In the introduction, the third paragraph states, "Alcohol use disorder (AUD) reportedly most often affects young men (aged 18–24 years) of lower socioeconomic status". Where did this information come from? There is no cite supporting this claim. I think changing this to something more substantial, that pertains to AUD. Using some credible source like research from WHO or CDC, would be more fitting. Something stating how studies have showed that AUD causes (X) amount of injuries and death yearly or how many Americans are affected by AUD yearly would be more suiting here. Any thoughts?? I don't mind doing some editing in this for that, but would like some adivice before diving in. This would be my first edit so any help would be greatly appreciated.
