How Do I Know If I Have A Drinking Problem?
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.
