Question:

One of my relatives is undergoing alcoholism treatment. What are the signs that a person has alcoholism?

I have a friend who drinks alcohol, and yet it doesn't seem like a problem for him. I just want to know what it is that the person must embody before he is considered as an alcoholic.


Answers:

Your friend is probably not an alcoholic because he drinks moderately. Moderate drinking of alcohol is fine.
Alcoholism is characterized by the following:

tolerance- the person needs to drink more alcohol in order for him to get high
craving- the compulsion to drink
loss of control- the person cannot seem to stop drinking once he has begun
physical dependence- withdrawal symptoms already occur when the person stops drinking or drinks in lesser doses.
