Answer by norton g
justa girl – Signs of alcoholism include “drinks a lot of liquor.”
Although different people may use alcohol at different levels, the basic pattern is the same. Drinking becomes more and more important than anything else, including job, friends and family. Alcohol starts to increasingly affect you physically and emotionally, often impairing judgment to a dangerous level.

Physical signs of alcohol abuse and alcoholism
While intoxicated: slurred speech, dizziness, clumsiness or unsteadiness
Blackouts, when you drink so much you pass out
Weight loss
Unexplained sore or upset stomach
Redness in the face or cheeks
Numbness or tingling in hands and feet

Question by Color of the Sun: Is One Glass Per Night A Sign Of Potential Alcohol Abuse/Dependence?
Just One glass of wine less than or equal to five ounces every night? The person has no real desire to drink any more but this “not wasting the bottle” appears troubling to some.

Best answer:

Answer by alibaby suspended for being real
well it wouldn’t hurt to see a councilor about this for some that one glass is fine for others it’s not it just depends on the person

Answer by mike
Try doing without the glass of nightly wine for one week. No excuses. If you are alcolol dependent prone, you won’t be able to do this. Excuses will abound, “I’m not alcololic anyway why take this stupid test.” Also if you go without the drink for a week, evaluate your mood. Do you miss the time at night when you drink the wine, are you uncomfortable during this week. On end, nervous, edgy. If yes, you just may have a problem. Stay away from the booze.
