10 SIGNS OF ALCOHOLISM



When could we say that someone became an alcoholic? At what point did a person's drinking change from "socially drinking" to a problem?

Here we give you 10 signs that someone has a problem of alcoholism

# 1: Feel a strong urge to drink
Alcoholics often feel that they need to drink all the time, or try to solve problems in their lives by drinking. On average one person drinks four alcoholic drinks per week. If you or someone you know chronically drinks more than this, or seems unable to stop drinking, you probably have an alcohol problem.

Also, if a person needs a drink just to get up in the morning, or at odd times of the day in order to function, it is likely that he is an alcoholic.

# 2: Having withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking

People who drink every day may experience withdrawal symptoms when they stop drinking. This is because your body becomes dependent on alcohol to fulfill certain functions.

Some of the withdrawal symptoms that a person may experience are: anxiety, depression, fatigue, irritability, nightmares, mood swings, tremors, loss of appetite, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, accelerated heart rate, tremors, fever , Hallucination, and more.

They often occur within 5-10 hours after the last drink - but may occur days after the last drink. Symptoms get worse in 48-72 hours, and may persist for weeks.

# 3: Drinking in situations where it is dangerous
If a person can not stop drinking at a party or meeting when they start to feel drunk and know they should drive home, or drink at work when working with heavy equipment, or when they know that if the baby could lose work and the baby anyway, it's time to consider that they have a problem of alcoholism.

# 4: when you self medicate yourself with alcohol
When a person begins to drink as a solution to their problems, they are more likely to become alcoholic. They are using alcohol as an escape and are less likely to really solve the root of their difficulty due to alcohol, so it becomes a vicious circle.# 5: Drinking too consistently
Getting mental gaps when being drunk (you can not remember what happened for a period of time) is extremely dangerous. It can leave you vulnerable to doing illegal or despicable things that you would never do soberly. If a person is constantly having these "black outs" or even "just" decides to get drunk every day, their friends and family need to discuss the possibility of being an alcoholic.

# 6: Depression

Alcohol is actually a depressant. This is because it decreases the respiratory rate and heart rate. But, alcohol can also cause depression. It can be complicated if a person is already depressed and the person becomes an alcoholic, because alcohol can actually make their depression worse. They may feel good about alcohol, but as soon as the effects pass, depression can strike even more. However, if a person is not depressed in the first place, alcohol can cause them to feel depressed. Therefore, in order to understand what is really wrong with the person or a part of your life, you must first lower the alcohol.

# 7: Hide alcohol caches in unlikely places
Bringing alcohol to work, keeping it in the laundry room or storing it in the glove compartment is not normal. If you are drinking so much alcohol that you feel you need to hide your use of your loved ones - or you just do not feel "right" unless you have a drink in your hand - or you need a drink to function, you are probably an alcoholic.

# 8: Experiencing legal problems due to alcohol
Getting in trouble with the law is never a good thing. But if a person starts having problems with the police or with their loved ones because they are doing illegal things, either under the influence of alcohol or to get more alcohol, they are experiencing addictive behavior. If a person has to steal in order to obtain more than one drug of any kind, they are probably addicted to that drug. Also, if a person's relationships with those they love or with the society they belong to deteriorate due to a drug, they should seek help.

# 9: Taking certain types of drinks to get drunk, faster
I had a friend who used to drink three of the worst brand beers I've ever heard because - even though I hated the taste - I wanted to get drunk fast. Then he would vomit and lament about all the drinks he had put in his body, because now he would have to drink more to maintain his drunkenness. This person was an alcoholic. He chose specific drinks not for the enjoyment of the product, as someone could with a good wine or a chocolate souffle, it was just to get drunk as fast as possible.

Also, a person who drinks consistently will become tolerant to alcohol, and will need more of it to get drunk. That's why they can start drinking cheaper alcohols, because they can not get drunk with the most expensive drinks.
