As use continues, one’s judgment and perception of pain and pleasure may become skewed. Consistent alcohol exposure will cause your body to build a tolerance to it.

Alcohol addiction is characterized by: Loss of Control Preoccupation with Alcohol Consumption Continued Consumption of Alcohol, Despite Negative Life Consequences Reduction in Motivation Outside of Alcohol Consumption Signs of problem drinking include: Binge Drinking Lying about Drinking Habits or Otherwise Hiding Alcohol Consumption Habitually Drinking More Than Initially Intended Use of Alcohol to Cope with Emotions and Stress Legal Consequences as a Result of Drinking Interference with Professional and Personal Relationships
