Alcoholism is a rough word
to deal with. Yet nobody is too young (or
too old) to have trouble with booze.
That's because alcoholism
is an illness. It can hit anyone.
Young, old. Rich, poor. Black, white.
And it doesn't matter how long you've been
drinking or what you've been drinking. It's
what drinking does to you that counts.
To help you decide whether you might have
a problem with your own drinking, we've
prepared these 12 questions. The answers
are nobody's business but your own.
If you can answer
yes to any one of these questions, maybe
it's time you took a serious look at what
your drinking might be doing to you.
And, if you do need help or if you'd just
like to talk to someone about your drinking,
call Alcoholics Anonymous.
A
Simple 12-Question Quiz designed To Help
You Decide
1) Do you
drink because you have problems? To relax?
2) Do you
drink when you get mad at other people,
your friends or parents?
3) Do you
prefer to drink alone, rather than with
others?
4) Are your
grades starting to slip? Are you goofing
off on your job?
5) Did you
ever try to stop drinking or drink less
— and fail?
6) Have
you begun to drink in the morning, before
school or work?
7) Do you
gulp your drinks?
8) Do you
ever have loss of memory due to your drinking?
9) Do you

10) Do you
ever get into trouble when you're drinking?
11) Do you
get drunk when you drink, even when you
don't mean to?

liquor?
