Unhealthy alcohol consumption includes any alcohol use that put one’s health at risk or causes alcohol related-problems, it also includes binge drinking in which a male consumes five or more drinks in two hours and a female consumes four drinks in two hours. Such drinking patterns cause significant distress and problems functioning in daily life, and even a mild disorder can escalate and lead to serious problems.

SYMPTOMS OF ALCOHOLISM:

Alcohol use disorder can be mild, moderate or severe, based on the number of symptoms you experience. Signs and symptoms of alcoholism may include:

  • Being unable to limit the amount of alcohol you drink.

  • Wanting to cut down on how much you drink or making unsuccessful attempts to do so.

  • Spending a lot of time drinking, getting alcohol or recovering from alcohol use

  • Feeling a strong craving or urge to drink alcohol

  • Failing to fulfil major obligations at work, school or home due to repeated alcohol use.

  • continue to drink alcohol even though you know it's causing physical, social or interpersonal problems

  • Giving up or reducing social and work activities and hobbies

  • Using alcohol in situations where it's not safe, such as when driving or swimming

  • Developing a tolerance to alcohol so you need more to feel its effect or you have a reduced effect from the same amount.

  • Experiencing withdrawal symptoms may include — symptoms such as nausea, sweating and shaking — when you don't drink, or drinking to avoid these symptoms

Alcohol use disorder can include periods of alcohol intoxication and symptoms of alcoholism withdrawal.

  • Alcohol intoxication as a symptom results as the amount of alcohol in your bloodstream increases. The higher the blood alcohol concentration is, the more impaired you become. Alcohol intoxication causes behaviour problems and mental changes. These may include inappropriate behaviour, unstable moods, impaired judgment, slurred speech, impaired attention or memory, and poor coordination. You can also have periods called "blackouts," where you don't remember events. Very high blood alcohol levels can lead to coma or even death.

if these symptoms may persist for long, they can be severe enough to impair ability to function at work or in social environments and can show much chronic signs.
