What Are the Signs of Alcohol Abuse?
Not everyone who has alcoholism displays the same signs. Some are able trto hide their problem for a while, and others show signs immediately. One of the biggest signs a person has a problem with alcohol is when their drinking becomes a main aspect of their life. This usually leads to neglecting everything else, including personal responsibilities.
The most common signs of alcohol abuse include:
- Episodes of insomnia followed by deep sleep
- Unjustified or erratic emotions, such as agitation or anger
- Failing to remember responsibilities to family, friends, or co-workers
- Lack of control when drinking
What Are the Signs of Alcohol Dependence?
Alcohol abuse will turn into an addiction when the abuse isn’t treated soon. Alcohol dependency refers to the individual’s inability to break free from their addiction, even when they recognize the negative repercussions of their drinking. After taking just one drink, the individual has no control over how much they consume, their behavior, or stopping. Thoughts about drinking or when they will get to drink again are serious signs of alcohol dependence.
What Are the Withdrawal Symptoms of Alcoholism?
Many people think they can quit drinking on their own and at any time. Due to the withdrawal symptoms, an individual should always seek help for ending their addiction. Side effects can be dangerous and result in medical problems. Some common withdrawal symptoms are:
- Seizures
- Insomnia
- Vomiting or nausea
- Hallucinations
- Tremors and convulsions
- Increased anxiety and agitation
- Excessive sweating when it’s cold outside
