AlcoholismAlcohol AbuseAlcohol abuse has serious negative consequences. If you consume alcohol there is always a chance that harmful patterns of behavior can lead to having a drinking problem. Alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence and alcoholism are different levels of a disease which can be diagnosed by a trained and qualified healthcare professional. Moderate alcohol use in most adults (up to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women and older people) causes few if any problems. Determining Alcohol AbuseTo help determine if you or someone you care for is abusing alcohol, the following questions can help.
Alcohol abuse may be a problem if the answer to any of these questions is: "yes." For more than one "yes answer" an alcohol abuse problem is still more highly likely and help should be sought. For those who suffer from alcohol abuse or alcohol dependency, alcohol treatment programs can help.
