Common signs and symptoms of alcohol abuse

Repeatedly neglecting your responsibilities at home, work, or school because of your drinking.

Using alcohol in situations where it’s physically dangerous, such as drinking and driving, operating machinery while intoxicated, or mixing alcohol with prescription medication against doctor’s orders.

Experiencing repeated legal problems on account of your drinking.

Continuing to drink even though your alcohol use is causing problems in your relationships.

Drinking as a way to relax or de-stress. Many drinking problems start when people use alcohol to self-soothe and relieve stress.

  1. These are true facts. I just think it's sad that people drink to get over their problems. The dumb thing is that they only forget about their problems for a little while until they are sober.
