How do you differentiate between a problem drinker and an alcoholic?
Drinking is a problem if it causes trouble in your relationships, in school, in social activities, or in how you think and feel. If you are concerned that either you or someone in your family might have a drinking problem, consult your student health center.
Alcoholism, which is known as “alcohol dependence syndrome,” is a disease that is characterized by a strong desire or compulsion to drink; a loss of control with an inability to stop drinking; a physical dependence that has withdrawal symptoms such as nausea, shakiness, and anxiety that are relieved by further drinking; and a tolerance for increasing amounts of alcohol.
