The term abuse, when applied to a substance, means to use too much of it, become addicted to it, or use something for the wrong reasons. There is a debate as to how much recreational use of something equates to abuse. There are people who can drink socially without becoming alcoholics, and there are people who cannot.

Abuse in general means to misuse or mistreat. Deliberately trying to harm a spouse, child, or animal is abuse.
