• I love alcohol but that doesnt make me an
  alcoholic Thats what you and millions of other
  Americans who abuse alcohol and a daily basis may
  think. The truth is, the reality could be the
  complete opposite.
• 17.6 million people in the United States abuse
  alcohol and thats excluding the millions of
  other who indulge in heavy episodic drinking
  putting themselves at risk of an alcohol-use
  disorder.
• Thats one incurable hangover, if you ask us.

American Has a Major Drinking Problem.

• Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance in
  the US. According to National Council on
  Alcoholism and Drug Dependency, one in every 12
  American residents suffer from alcohol abuse.
  Its no wonder were being labelled as one of the
  drunkest nation along with the Soju-happy South
  Koreans and the beer drinking Germans. In some
  states, 20 percent of its residents drink
  excessively and many others are binge drinkers.
  One such state is California.

California Is One of Americas Booziest States
(Sort of)

• California is famous for its classic beach bars
  and turnt up nightlife, there are plenty of
  excuses alcoholism. According to the US National
  Library of Medicine National Institutes of
  Health, excessive alcohol use cost the state
  about 35 billion (not million, billions) yearly.
  Yes, this may not seem like a lot considering the
  amount of money that is spent on drugs and pizza
  slices, but its certainly alarming figure.
• As an Orange County, CA resident or someone
  residing in a neighbouring city, its not
  impossible for you to adapt to Californias
  excessive drinking culture. Its easy to get
  caught up in the glitz and glamour of The Golden
  State. Sipping cocktails during the day on the
  beach then finishing the evening at a club, bar
  or pub stock with vodka, rum, whiskey and the
  list goes on.
• Nearly one in every five residents enjoy drinking
  excessively, or as California natives love to
  say, hangin with Lindsay Lohan. Thats why
  every once in awhile, its important for you to
  ask yourself have I gone too far?
• Knowing if your drinking patterns are unsafe can
  help you to prevent any life threatening issues
  later down the line. One of the easiest ways to
  find out if you have a problem is by taking an
  alcoholic self test online . For example, The
  National Council on Alcoholism and Drug
  Dependence, provides a short quiz of 26 questions
  on their website that you can take in only a few
  minutes.

Am I An Alcoholic?

• If some aspects of your life is greatly affected
  by your drinking habits but you're still unable
  to stop, the answer to your question maybe yes.
  For Instance, if you find yourself slacking at
  your job because of continuous hangovers, you may
  be further into the throes of alcoholism than you
  may have thought. Taking medications with alcohol
  and driving moments after binge drinking, putting
  your life and the lives of other motorist at
  risk, is also a common indicator of alcoholism.

• More importantly if you find yourself counting
  down the minutes to your next drink and
  experience nervousness, depression, feelings of
  fatigue, mood swings, nightmares or shakiness
  when youve gone without a drink, you may have an
  alcohol problem. These are common withdrawal
  symptoms that may surface over a day or two and
  worsen in the days following.
• In severe cases, you may begin to hallucinate,
  and may experience a high fever or a seizure. For
  this reason, its important that you seek
  professional help if you have an alcohol
  addiction. Dealing with withdrawal at home can be
  dangerous but there are many Orange County
  alcohol treatment centers with trained staff
  capable of guiding you through withdraw and on
  the path to sobriety.
