  person is overdoing it is a good thing. You want
  to make sure that you know the amount that you
  should be drinking and know that you are not
  overdoing it in the end. This is something that
  can cause problems in the person. By
  understanding that alcohol should only be
  indulged in during certain points in time can
  help you control the amount that you drink.
•  
• Since alcohol is legal, the person has access to
  as much as they would like to purchase. This
  makes alcohol one of the strongest and easiest to
  obtain drug, it is also one of the most dangerous
  when it is consumed without responsibility or
  being safe while doing so.

• Those that are addicted to drinking will get to
  their threshold and continue to drink. They will
  not cut themselves off and oftentimes, they will
  end up blacking out because of how much alcohol
  they have consumed. They also do dangerous things
  while they are drinking, such as driving or
  operating other types of machinery, or are
  violent. There are many problems that can arise
  when the person drinks and it causes too many
  problems. The person may not even remember going
  through all of this.

• There are many factors that determine how much a
  person can safely consume based on their age,
  height, weight and age. These will let the person
  know if they can safely consume a lot of alcohol
  or a little. Adults can normally drink up to two
  units of alcohol per day. The types of
  medications that you are taking can also alter
  how your body reacts to the alcohol that was
  consumed.

• The amount of alcohol that you consume will not
  let you know if youre an alcoholic or not, as
  some people can consume higher amounts than
  others and if you consume a lot once a month or
  every other month, this generally does not cause
  alarm. It is important to consider the person,
  the amount and the times that they drink. Many
  factors go into determining whether the person
  has an alcohol dependency problem or not.

  physical and mental health over time when the
  alcohol continues to be used.

  drinking can become angry and resentful. They can
  start displaying both emotional and physical
  abuse to those around them. Many of them might

  if they stop eating or drinking anything other
  than alcohol. Their bodies will become used to
  this substance and will need it.

  inflammations of the organs in the body,
  withdrawal symptoms if the person stops drinking
  and a rise in violence, memory issues and other
  problems. So many things can happen in those that
  abuse alcohol and without the proper help, the
  person can face a lot of issues and even death.

  professional if you find that you or someone you
  know has a drinking problem. They can advise you
