People who wonder if they may have a problem with alcohol often seek reassurance from consumption guidelines, but as with everything related to use and dependency, nothing is concrete, and what may be safe for one, harmful to another. The best way to know whether your drinking has become problematic is simply to try taking a good long break from alcohol.

Is it alcoholism, problem drinking, heavy drinking...what do all these things even mean anyway?

You may not believe you're an alcoholic - and you may even be right...but what's the significance of that nagging voice inside your head that wonders if something might be wrong?

OK - so here it is, once and for all. Read this and know for sure whether or not you have a drinking problem. It's an easy little test and in 5 minutes you'll know, and what you do then is up to you.
