There’s
no definite way of determining if a person’s drinking has escalated
to “serious” levels—no cut and dry tests that can accurately
say you have a severe drinking problem. However, there are certain
signs that can indicate if someone is beginning to go over the top
with their alcohol consumption or is already dependent.
If
you’re starting to drink more than you can handle, you need to
evaluate your drinking and be honest if it’s something to be
concerned about. Maybe someone has already pointed to you that your
alcohol consumption is getting out of hand. This is your first sign
that you need to pay attention to how much you drink.
Alcoholism
can be caused by many factors, one of which is having a family with a
history of alcohol problems. Individuals with certain backgrounds are
just more prone to abuse the bottle than others. Other reasons
include upbringing, peers, home life, and psychiatric disorders such
as anxiety or depression.
In
most cases, alcohol abuse can become so severe that it needs the
intervention of professional treatments, therapies, and counseling.
If you are struggling with your alcohol consumption, you may want to
consult your personal doctor for solutions. You may also want to know
about alcohol treatment programs and providers in your area.
