Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you feel that you can't have fun unless you drink?
• Do you drink at school?
• Do you drink alone?
• Do you ever drive after you've been drinking?
• Do you need alcohol to "get going" or motivate yourself to get things done?
• Do you feel like you focus better when you've been drinking?
• Have your friends or family ever complained about your drinking?
• Have you ever felt guilty about your drinking?
• Have you ever tried to cut down on drinking?

Even one "yes" answer suggests you may have a drinking problem. More than one "yes" answer means you most likely have a drinking problem.
