Abstract Alcohol use is widely prevalent in Indian society, and results in road accidents, heart diseases and various mental health problems. The main aim of this research is to assess Alcohol Use Disorder and Self Esteem in early and late adulthood. This study also examines the correlation between alcohol consumption and self-esteem. 200 Alcoholics aged 20-59 were selected from Saaral and Pudhiya Paadhai De Addiction Centre, by purposive sampling method for this research. The tools used for this research were Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test(John C. Higgins -Biddle) and Self-esteem (Martin Jerusalem). The data were collected and analysed using mean, Standard Deviation, and Pearson Correlation. The findings indicate that a majority of the middle aged participation reported high levels of alcohol consumption. Most participants demonstrated moderate level of self esteem. There is negative correlation between Alcohol use disorder and Self-esteem. There is no statistically significant relation between alcohol use disorder and self-esteem.
