alcohol-related liver disease, or ARLD

Great, another abbreviation. There are new ones popping up in commercials all the time. Everybody seems to want one.

and…

I wonder if the Air Force still has the acronym dictionary that was updated every year?

I just searched by "acronym dictionary" in Google and found there are several.
