When do you know when someone is an alcholic?

Question:

Answers:
If you know someone who is having a problem with drink, it is best to get advice early, than to wait until you are certain they are an alcoholic. The most famous organization is Alcoholics Anonymous. I believe they have a number of sister organizations for people who are concerned about alcoholics.

For yourself the most important thing is your safety. Typically alcoholics are violent when they are drunk. Fortunately they are not drunk all the time.

Generally the test for an alcoholic is one drink. A person who can keep to one drink is not an alcoholic, but an alcoholic cannot keep to just one drink.

There is no cure for alcoholism, but a reformed alcoholic is one who admits they are an alcoholic and voluntary refrains from having that one drink.

when they lose a job because of alcohol, when they're always getting drunk, when they think they need alcohol to get them through the day..when if they don't drink they go through withdrawals and have serious medical problems
