Do I have a problem?
If you drink large quantities of alcohol regularly, you run the risk of becoming alcohol dependent. This means you could develop an addiction to alcohol and find it hard to live day to day without having a drink.
You might find yourself drinking more and more alcohol, and planning your life around ways to find the next drink. Feeling a compulsive need to drink and being unable to stop drinking when you start are also signs of alcohol dependence.
Your tolerance to alcohol may increase, so you need to drink larger and larger amounts of alcohol to feel any effect.
“Is drinking costing you
more than money?”
If you can relate to any any of these feelings and think your drinking is leading to poor health, difficulties with work, relationships, finances or with the law, or causes distress to yourself or others around you, then you may have an alcohol problem.
