In particular, I appreciated the description of the two kinds of problem drinkers, chronic and situational, and this list of signs to watch out for:
How to Recognize a Drinking Problem
Not everyone who drinks regularly has a drinking problem. You might want to get help if you:
* Drink to calm your nerves, forget your worries, or reduce depression
* Lose interest in food
* Gulp your drinks down fast
* Lie or try to hide your drinking habits
* Drink alone more often
* Hurt yourself, or someone else, while drinking
* Were drunk more than three or four times last year
* Need more alcohol to get "high"
* Feel irritable, resentful, or unreasonable when you are not drinking
* Have medical, social, or financial problems caused by drinking
