Am I An Alcoholic?

Am I An Alcoholic?

Determining if you have an alcohol use disorder is a personal and often difficult question. Our “Am I an Alcoholic?” self-assessment quiz is a simple, confidential tool designed to help you explore your drinking habits and their impact on your life. This quiz is a starting point for self-reflection and not a substitute for a professional diagnosis.

Understanding the Signs of Alcoholism

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a medical condition characterized by an impaired ability to stop or control alcohol use despite adverse social, occupational, or health consequences. While the signs can vary from person to person, some common indicators include:

• Having a strong, often uncontrollable, urge to drink.
• Needing more alcohol to feel the same effect (tolerance).
• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms like shakiness, sweating, or nausea when you stop drinking.
• Continuing to drink even when it causes problems in your relationships, job, or health.
• Giving up on social, professional, or recreational activities in favor of drinking.

Why Am I An Alcoholic?

There isn’t a single reason why someone becomes an alcoholic; it’s a complex disease influenced by a combination of factors. Genetics can play a significant role, as a family history of alcoholism increases an individual’s risk. Environmental and social factors, such as peer pressure, the availability of alcohol, or using alcohol to cope with stress or trauma, can also contribute. Over time, excessive alcohol use changes the brain’s chemistry, creating a physical and psychological dependence that makes it incredibly difficult to stop, even in the face of negative consequences. This is why willpower alone is often not enough to overcome the disease.
