Signs you drink too much

Most people just think they drink and play, not to the point of worry. But the truth is not so. Watch for the following signs to see if your problem is alarming.

You become reckless

Anyone who's seen their shy co-worker dancing in a bar at a company party knows that alcohol can reduce shyness. However, sometimes this becomes excessive – which can lead to dangerous decisions.
“Drinking too much on one occasion can change your life for the worse, for example, it is responsible for about 60% of fatal burns, 40% of fatal falls and car accidents , and half of all rapes, according to data from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

You drink a lot on weekends

If you don't drink every day but drink regularly, like every Friday night, that's a red flag. The whole week of "abstinence" and then pouring into a single day erased all of the health benefits of alcohol. In addition, this intense intake can increase blood pressure and alter the effectiveness of some medications.

Don't know the stop

Have you ever told yourself that you would only drink 1-2 glasses of wine at a party, and before that you knew that you had 4 drinks? One of the signs that you may be a spirit disciple is not knowing your limits. Like diabetes, heart disease, and many other illnesses, alcohol problems develop slowly. That's why it's wise to re-evaluate your regular drinking habits, by writing down how much you drink, and when. That will make it easier to control if you start to "slope".

Forgetting temporarily

Spirits interfere with your memory by interrupting a key storm neurotransmitter associated with memory. That means if you've ever "forgotten" part of your evening until someone you drank with reminded you of, or woken up in a hazy state of how you got home and got into bed, you've had too much to drink. a lot of.

Let go of some responsibilities

Drinking becomes a problem when you realize you're starting to let go of things that were once so important in order to focus on drinking. For example, putting your child to bed or taking a morning class. When alcohol is prioritized over everyday life, you may have fallen into the danger zone.

Relatives seem concerned

If family, friends, or co-workers are all reminding or hinting that they're worried about you, it's time to stop.
After realizing that you have been drinking more than before, set a goal to control yourself. For example, tell your partner or close friend about your drinking limit before going to an event. That will make it easier for you to say no to your next cup, since you're being "counted" by someone else.
And if you're afraid to ask others if you've had too much to drink, that could be a sign that you're doing it.
