Signs Of Alcoholism

For some, one drink during happy hour is plenty. These adults can take a sip of alcohol, and then stop drinking for the day. But there are some people who just can’t stop with a sip. These people might have an alcohol use disorder.

According to National Council of Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, there are a few signs of alcoholism:

  • Tolerance to the impact of alcohol, so more drinking is required to bring about the same effect
  • Withdrawal symptoms between bouts of drinking
  • Loss of control over how much or how often alcohol is consumed
    A wish to stop drinking, but an inability to follow through
  • A tight focus on alcohol, leading to neglect of one’s job, family, friends, or hobbies
    Continued use of alcohol, even though it leads to problems
