Problem drinking
Early signs of problem drinking include:
- drinking faster than everyone else
- often drinking to cope with problems
- not being able to stop drinking once you start
- high tolerance of alcohol – you can drink a lot before you feel drunk
- memory loss or blackouts
- needing a drink first thing in the morning to get going
- secretly doubling up or sneaking drinks
- feeling guilty after drinking
If you recognise any of the signs above contact your GP or local alcohol counselling service for confidential advice and support.
If you drink heavily or think you might be dependant on alcohol it could be dangerous to make big changes to your drinking without medical support.
