What are the behavioural changes noticed in a person after drinking alcohol?
Answers
Alcoholism is a chronic disorder which is marked by compulsive drinking, and those with an alcoholic personality are more likely to fall victim to its influence. Heavy or chronic alcohol use leads to psychological and physical dependence and possibly addiction. The effects of alcohol, when consumed excessively, can bring on irrational behaviors that can cause major issues in a person’s life. If you notice some of the signs of alcoholic drinking behaviors in someone you know or love, it’s possible that they may have an addiction.
When addictive drinking behaviors become obvious, it’s likely that the problem has been there for quite some time. Problem drinkers put a lot of effort into hiding their alcoholism symptoms so it’s not always easy to know right away. At the beginning stages, there are very few symptoms that would indicate a real issue. The obvious drinking behaviors of an alcoholic may not become apparent until the tipping point has occurred.
This tipping point between drinking and full out alcoholism may take years, even decades to materialize to the point where it’s obvious. For example, functional alcoholics can maintain a normal life with no signs at all. Seeing where drinking has crossed the line from social use to a problem often won’t be obvious for quite some time.
There are some drinking behaviors that would indicate alcoholism at an early stage. If you notice your loved one copes with difficulties by drinking, this could be a warning sign. As the disease progresses so do the more obvious signs of problem drinking.
