How can you tell if someone has a problem?
Answering the following four questions can help you find out if you or a loved one has a drinking problem:
Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?
Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?
Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?
One “yes” answer suggests a possible alcohol problem. More than one “yes” answer means it is highly likely that a problem exists. If you think that you or someone you know might have an alcohol problem, it is important you find an alcohol rehab in your area for an assessment. Most alcohol rehabs will provide you with an alcohol abuse assessment at no charge.
If you require assistance finding an alcohol rehab, just call 800-511-9225 a national hotline and they will find you one.
