Chances are if you're even asking the question, you have a
drinking problem. But here are some other factors:
- inability to control your drinking - it seems that regardless of what you decide beforehand, you frequently wind up drinking too much.
- using alcohol to escape your problems
- changing from your usual reserved character into the "life of the party"
- a change in personality - does drinking turn you from Dr.
Jekyll to Mr. Hyde?
- a high tolerance level - you can drink just about everybody under the table
- blackouts - sometimes you don't remember what happened when you were drinking
- problems at work or in school as a result of drinking
- concern shown by your family and friends about your drinking
If you have a drinking problem, or if you suspect you have one, there are many others out there like you, and there is help available.
