Drinking doesn’t always lead to alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction.
However, if alcohol causes issues at work, school, home, or in your relationships you should reach out to talk.
Symptoms of issues with alcohol include:
- Can’t remember what you did while drinking
- Needing more and more to feel “good” or de-stress
- Hurting yourself or others when drinking
- Having others worried about your drinking
- Feeling sick to your stomach, sweating, shaking, or feeling anxious while not drinking
- Hiding your drinking or lying to others about it
- Neglecting responsibilities at school or work
