Mental Health - Alcoholism

Alcohol is a part of our culture. But for about 14 million Americans, drinking has caused physical, emotional, social and legal harm.

Consider these questions:

• Have you ever wanted to cut down your drinking?
• Has a relative, friend, doctor or co-worker expressed concern about your drinking?
• Have you ever felt guilty or embarrassed about things you have done while drinking?
• Have you ever been arrested for driving under the influence, or had other legal problems as the result of alcohol?
• Do you ever call in sick to work because of feeling hung over from drinking?
• Has drinking affected your ability to fulfill your family or employment responsibilities?
