Understanding Alcohol Dependency and Withdrawal

Alcohol dependency occurs when the body adjusts to regular alcohol consumption and begins to require alcohol to function normally. Withdrawal symptoms, which can begin within hours of the last drink, vary from mild anxiety and shakiness to severe complications such as seizures and delirium tremens (DTs).

Signs of Alcohol Dependency

Recognizing alcohol dependency can be challenging. Signs to watch for include:

Increased quantity or frequency of drinking
High tolerance and diminished "hangover" effects
Drinking alone or in secrecy
Avoiding contact with loved ones
Loss of interest in hobbies or activities once enjoyed
Unsuccessful attempts to quit drinking
