Signs of Alcoholism

Sometimes, it can be difficult to tell when a person has an addiction to alcohol, and other times, it is extremely obvious. A person has a problem with alcohol when consuming alcohol takes over their daily life, causing the person to neglect their responsibilities at work, home, and school. Many alcoholics become dependent on alcohol just to function. Signs of alcoholism include:

• Withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, sweating, nausea, tremors, insomnia, and aggression, when not consuming alcoholic beverages
• The inability to control one's drinking
• Spending the majority of one's day consuming alcohol or recovering from drinking too much
• Increased tolerance to alcohol
• Giving up activities that were once viewed as fun in order to drink
• Refusal to admit that there is a problem or to seek help for it
