5 Signs That You Are an Alcoholic

Drinking when done socially and in a moderate fashion does not harm anyone. But once an individual crosses this line of moderation and enters the dangerous territory of heavy drinking, the cycle turn vicious and can send the person spiraling down the lane of alcohol abuse or alcoholism.
