You are at risk for alcohol abuse if your drinking habits exceed:

• Drink alone
• Can't remember what you did while drinking
• Give up other activities for drinking
• Are unable to quit or cut back on drinking
• Try to hide your drinking
• Worry you won't have enough alcohol for an evening or weekend
• Continue to drink even though it harms your relationship, job performance or health
