How do I know if I have an alcohol problem?

People with alcohol problems often answer "yes" to one or more of the following questions:

  • Do you believe that in order to have fun you need to drink?

  • Do you turn to alcohol after a confrontation or argument or to relieve uncomfortable feelings?

  • Do you drink more to get the same effect that you used to get with smaller amounts?

  • Do you drink alone?

  • Have you had trouble at work or in school because of your drinking?

  • Have you made promises to yourself or others that you'll stop getting drunk?

  • Have your family or friends complained about your drinking?

  • Have you been late to or absent from work because of hangovers?

  • Do you drink even when you don't feel well?

  • Has your doctor told you that you have health problems related to drinking?

  • Have you tried to quit drinking?
