Do you feel socially inept whenever there's no alcohol at a party?
Do you have any of these: fatigue, worsening memory, wake up with abdominal discomfort, episodes where your body shakes, or nausea?
Do you have other family members that drink large amounts of alcohol or always include drinking alcohol in their daytime activities?
Do you notice that you can handle a lot more alcohol now than you could when you first started?

Let's say that you drank a lot at a party last night. You didn't pass out or black out. The next day your friends tell you that you said certain things you don't recall saying at all. Does this happen to you?
When you are feeling sad, do you have a few drinks to ease the pain?
When you try to drink less, do you find that you get to the point where you feel so bad - but a drink pulls you out of it?
