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.

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

Mental signs of alcohol abuse and alcoholism
Unable to control drinking: “just one drink” rapidly leads to more
Drinking leads to dangerous situations like driving drunk, walking in an unsafe area
Increased irritability, agitation and anger, lowered threshold for violence
Avoiding activities that do not involve the opportunity to drink
Excessive weeping and emotional displays
Unexplained absences and sick days from work, or difficulty making commitments
