Am I an Alcoholic?

Do you or a loved one find it difficult to control how often you consume alcohol? Do you habitually drink beyond your limits to the point of extreme intoxication? If you have asked yourself, "Am I an alcoholic?" it may be time to take a serious look at your situation before your habit results in tragic consequences.

According to most health associations, alcoholism is classified as a disease. Unlike people who abuse alcohol or binge drink, alcoholics typically lack control over how much or how often they drink. Their need for alcohol oftentimes overrides all reason and logic. As a result, many will continue to drink even in potentially dangerous situations. Therefore, it is essential you can recognize the signs of alcoholism in yourself or a loved one so that a professional alcohol detox center can be sought for treatment.

Am I an Alcoholic?

If you have reason to suspect that you or a loved one is suffering from alcoholism, perform the Am I An Alcoholic Self Test below. Ask yourself if these questions apply to your situation.

• Do you often want to continue drinking when others have said they've had enough?
• Has your tolerance increased due to frequent drinking?
• Do you feel the need to drink in stressful situations, following an argument, or amidst feelings of disappointment?
• Have you experienced blackouts or periods of time that you can't recall?
• Does your drinking interfere with your ability to fulfill personal and professional obligations?
• Do you continue to drink, despite warnings from your spouse or loved ones? Have they expressed concerns that you're an alcoholic?
• Do you frequently experience hangovers after heavy periods of drinking?
• Does your drinking make you feel sad, depressed, guilty, or ashamed?
• Do you depend on alcohol for relaxation or a stress management tool?
