When drinking casually with friends, we may not look for or recognize signs of alcoholism. Alcohol consumption is so common that addiction and abuse can be difficult to identify, especially in ourselves. There are many ways to enjoy a healthy relationship with alcohol; it’s when drinking starts to interfere with your everyday life that there may be a problem.
Drinking may be a problem if you …
• Drink to forget something in your life or past.
• Seek out alcohol when you’re feeling down or worried.
• Can’t sleep or wake up without a drink.
• Cope with emotions by drinking.
• Have a hard time managing stress without alcohol.
• Engage in “binge drinking,” having five or more drinks on a single occasion.
• Have trouble maintaining relationships, hobbies, or activities because of your drinking habits.
• Consistently go over limits on drinking that you set for yourself.
• Find yourself in dangerous situations or experiencing thoughts of suicide because of drinking.When drinking casually with friends, we may not look for or recognize signs of alcoholism.
