1. The Lone Drinker
If they prefer drinking by themselves and for no
particular reason, this is a good sign of
alcoholism. What are they trying to hide? Having
cocktails with loved ones is considered a social
event. Going to the club with friends is normal
in todays society. Even having a beer with a
buddy after work is typical in most circles. In
the movie Gone With The Wind, Rhett Butler chided
Scarlett OHara for drinking alone, saying that
people always found out and that their reputation
would be ruined.

2. Work Lateness and Absence
If a person seems to be home more than they are
at work because of hangovers, this is another
sure sign of alcoholism. This is especially true
if this this persons dream job normally, it
would be hard to talk this person into taking
time off for a major illness. Now, they call out
every Monday it seems or every other day after
payday.

3. Higher Tolerance for Alcohol
If a person who used to only drink 2 glasses a
day to get a buzz now suddenly find themselves
needing six bottles of such and such to get a
high, this is a powerful sign of alcoholism.
Their body has become used to the effects and in
order to reach past the plateau, they have to
drink either more of their usual or something
more potent.

4. Hide Alcohol
If a person keeps alcohol hidden in secret
places, this is a good sign of alcoholism. Most
people who drink have no problem keeping their
bottles and cans in a refrigerator, however,
alcoholics feel a sense of shame and often resort
to hiding them.

5. Withdrawal Effects
Alcoholics feel the need to drink. If they have
to go some time without a shot of something,
their body feels the physical pains of withdrawal
and those pains will not go away unless they are
tended to. Alcoholism is no different than
heroin, crack, or sex they are all addictions
and should be treated by a medical provider.

6. Personality Manager
If a person depends on drinking to become more
outgoing, this a powerful sign of alcoholism.
Alcohol becomes a crutch to be used to be more
extroverted in certain situations, and the person
will find any excuse to drink, whether it is to a
job interview, an audition or to be a presenter.
