Drinking Problem

So you think you might be suffering from a drinking problem?  If this is the case then you should consider the idea that you might be addicted to alcohol.

There is a fine line between alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction.  In many cases, the two behaviors can look completely identical.  So how can we differentiate between the two? 

Someone with a drinking problem can pretty much quit drinking when they get into big trouble without any problems.  They can walk away from the alcohol when things get out of control.  A true alcoholic, on the other hand, will continue to drink even in the face of heavy consequences.
