Drinking alcohol in
small, tolerable amounts is good for any sensible adult. It can
certainly help people relax and have fun. However, a person dependent
on the high that alcohol provides is dangerous, both for the
alcoholic and the people that surround and love him or her.
Alcoholics are rather
easy to identify, if you know how to distinguish them from sober
people. Here are some signs that will help you figure out if the
person you’re concerned about is an alcoholic or not:
A continuously
increasing tolerance for alcohol. If the person you love starts
drinking whiskey the same way the kid next door drinks his OJ in the
morning, that’s a telltale sign that your loved one is depending on
the alcohol to cheer himself up.
Neglect of duties
and responsibilities. A person who is frequently missing
commitments and responsibilities at home and at work due to alcohol
addiction should be ample warning for the people concerned about him
or her.
An increase of risky
and law-breaking tendencies. Everyone knows that drunk driving
never ends well. However, if your loved one has been coming home
drunk all the time, then it is best to seek professional help before
it’s too late.
