HEALTH Alcoholism

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, in 2012 approximately 7.2% of individuals in the United States were suffering from alcoholism. The prevalence of alcoholism is higher in men compared to women, with a ratio of about two to one. Nonetheless, it is important to note that each case of alcohol abuse is unique. A healthy person and a problem drink might consume the same amount of alcohol, but the impact it has on their lives is completely different.

This raises the question: do you know the indicators of alcoholism? The American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5 (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) outlines important symptoms, although there are additional signs that are widely recognized but not included.
