The easiest way to tell is to stop drinking. If you cannot do so, or are uncomfortable, or experience mood swings when you do, there could be a problem.

Another way is to simply consider how you drink. Can you walk into a bar, or a party, or sit down with your mind made up to have a couple of beers -- and walk out having had only a couple of beers? In other words, can you predict beforehand how much you will drink in a sitting and stick to it?

Do you have to have a drink in order to feel "normal?" A beer in the morning to clear the cobwebs? A few beers in order to relax and enjoy yourself?

Does drinking cause problems for you, but you keep on drinking anyway: fghts with your partner or others because you were drunk, DUIs, blackouts (you don't remember things you did while you were drunk, not passing out), missing work because of hangovers or because you were still drunk, etc.

If any of the above are true, you may have a problem with alcohol.

What is the difference between an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic?

The answer is that a non-alcoholic given a substantial reason (i.e.- spouse, kids, job, probation, health) , can and will stop drinking and not start again. Certain text-books describe three different types of drinkers. The problem drinker is described as a person that, when drinking, experiences difficulties they would not have if they were not drinking. The next type of drinker is a "hard drinker" who may consume a large volume of alcohol on a regular basis but given a sufficient reason to cease drinking will stop. The real alcoholic will continue drinking regardless of the what is at stake in regards to financial security, personal relationships, or his/her own health.
