The most severe stage of alcohol addiction is called alcohol abuse. There are many signs and symptoms that are clear warning signs, but those abusing alcohol tend to ignore them because their body is forming a dependency.Those that rely on alcohol to get through daily functions are considered alcoholics. Below, you’ll read about the warning signs that you should keep in mind if your drinking problem is becoming an issue that can be considered worrisome.

Tolerance – Warning Sign #1

Having to drink more alcohol each time you drink, in order to feel the effects of it is a serious warning sign that you’re building a tolerance to it. Building up a tolerance to alcohol is a clear indication that you’re falling into the early stages of alcohol abuse. Continuing to drink large amounts of alcohol will lead to an even deeper stage of alcohol abuse.

Withdrawal – Warning Sign #2

Many people who rely too much on alcohol actually experience withdrawal symptoms when their body starts to detox from it. This usually happens in the mornings, after a night’s sleep. Do you experience shaky hands in the morning? Does drinking alcohol relieve these symptoms? If so, this is a major warning sign that you may have an alcohol addiction that can only be helped by rehab.

As your body starts to depend on alcohol, you end up with withdrawal symptoms that only alcoholics experience. Do you experience any of the following symptoms when you haven’t been drinking?

  • Anxiety or jumpiness
  • Depression
