when is alcohol use considered to be problem?

When you find you’re drunk every night; and your drinking increases day by day.  You sneak bottles of beer into your room so you can binge drink behind your family’s back and take a quick swig of wine while your family are out and can’t see you drinking.  You wake up without a hangover, you’re putting on weight and people around you start to tell you to go to detox.  Then the doctor tells you you’ve damaged your liver.  Then you have the option of drinking in moderation; and you can watch others drink and resist alcohol but they have to hide bottles of alcohol in the house from you.  So you don’t sneak a few.  When you can eat foods containing alcohol but you find yourself drinking cups of strong tea instead.  That’s what being a mild alcoholic is like.  Moderate or severe can’t cope with alcohol in the house, drinking in front of them, or alcohol in food.  Their liver damage wouldn’t be so easily repairable.  

It can negatively affect families. More than one family has been torn apart because of excessive alcohol use. It can get you arrested for driving drunk and cause employers to fire you which can lead to homelessness. It lowers inhibitions and some people call it liquid courage which causes heavy drinkers to do unacceptable things like lie, cheat, get in fights, and sometimes steal if an alcoholic needs their booze immediately and don't have the money for another bottle. It causes liver damage, ,D.T's which include hallucinations, suicidal thoughts, and sometimes seizures and death. It can cause mental  illnesses like bipolar disorder. It causes stomach ulcers and can cause diabetes because it makes drinker's sugar levels to rise and fall abruptly. It can cause potassium levels to drop to dangerous levels and cause other nutritional problems which can be life threatening. It causes dehydration which can prematurely age people and cause arthritis, kidney, and other organ failures. It can cause excessive vomiting and horrible hangovers. It can cause you to lose balance, fall, and hurt yourself.

Other than that, drinking is fun.

When you run out and the liquor stores are closed...that's a problem.

You are drinking too much if you are: A woman who has more than seven drinks per week or more than three drinks per occasion. A man who has more than 14 drinks per week or more than four drinks per occasion. Older than 65 years and having more than seven drinks per week or more than three drinks per occasion.

When one puts it ahead of food and water and breathing... the only things one truly needs to survive.  So 'yeah, I think health nuts and health experts and all those people telling other people what to eat and drink are kinda to blame for turning a lot of people into alcoholics.' 

When it interferes with the ability to function as you were before drinking. Some people can drink a lot.

Winston Churchill was asked by FDR:" Winston, how long can you go on?"

Churchill responded : ".you give enough amphetamine and whiskey, and I'll can on indefinately"

FDR said back: "no Winston, I mean, how long can Britain hold out?"

Churchill:" oh! Maybe a few weeks!"😃😃😃😃😃😃

When you’re out with your honey and your nose is kind of runny, you may think it’s funny, but it’s snot.

When you have to ask.
