How can I tell if alcohol is a problem for me?
Alcohol is a problem if it affects any part of your life, including your health, your work and your life at home. You may have a problem with alcohol if you think about drinking all the time, if you keep trying to quit on your own but can't, or if you often drink more than you plan to or more than is safe for what you are doing (such as driving a car).
What are some of the signs that alcohol is a problem?
Not all signs are obvious. Many people find it hard to admit when alcohol is a problem. Often, people around you may see your problem before you do. Think about what your friends and family say to you about drinking. Then talk with your family doctor about your concerns.
Know How Much Alcohol is Safe
In general, if you drink, you should only consume one drink per hour. A drink is defined as one 12-ounce beer, one 4-ounce glass of wine, one 10-ounce wine cooler or one 1-ounce of 80-proof hard alcohol. Factors such as body weight, height and body chemistry should also be considered. Many mixed drinks have more than one serving of alcohol. Be sure to know how much alcohol is in your drink.
When Someone is Intoxicated
CONTINUALLY MONITOR THE INTOXICATED PERSON.
CHECK THEIR BREATHING, waking them often to be sure they are not unconscious.
A DRUNK PERSON should not be put in charge of another drunk person.
DO NOT exercise the person.
DO NOT allow the person to drive a car or ride a bicycle.
DO NOT give the person food, liquid, medicines or drugs to sober them up.
DO NOT give the person a cold shower; the shock of the cold could cause unconsciousness.
REMEMBER: THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SOBER A DRUNK PERSON IS TIME!!!!
How To Tell If Someone Has Alcohol Poisoning
Call 110 if you see someone exhibiting behavior that might indicate alcohol poisoning such as any of the following symptoms:
Cold, clammy, pale, or bluish skin
