There are several questions to ask to establish whether a person may be a problem drinker, but only the person consuming the alcohol can determine whether they are actually an "alcoholic". (Since there is no definitive test that can confirm whether a person suffers the disease of addiction, there is no definite way to confirm the disease of addiction other than through self-discovery, as alcohol IS a drug!)

The questions you might ask yourself if you feel that a family member has a serious problem with alcohol are:

How much alcohol does the family member consume in any 24 hour period of time?

Does the family member drink to the point where they are affecting others in a negative way? (feelings, actions, or lack of actions such as neglect)

Does the family member frequently "blackout"? (drinking to the point where they no longer remember a period of time or what they said or did during a period of time?)

Have their been legal ramifications with this family member's alcohol consumption?

(example: arrested for drinking and driving)

Has there been any health complications or issues due to the consumption of alcohol in this family member's life?

What does being held hostage in alcoholic family mean?

The emotional complexities of growing up in an alcoholic family make it extremely difficult to break away from the craziness and build a healthy life of your own. Leaving the presence of the presenting alcoholic does not automatically "fix" the emotional problems caused by the relationship, which will be revisited until some sort of therapy has helped the family member deal with the emotional damage that always exists in alcoholic families. Add to that the unwillingness of alcoholics to let go of anything, let alone the people who have been supporting them in their disease, and the term "hostage" is quite accurate.
