Alcohol addiction is a major medical problem. Neurological and brain damage, liver cirrhosis and depression are among the most common threats. If you are concerned that a friend or a close relative may have an addiction to alcohol, the following signs are an indication that he/she needs help and medical intervention:

1. Coercive alcohol consumption.
2. Drinking alcohol is always top priority and above all social activities.
3. Needs to consume greater amounts of alcohol to get merry and/or intoxicated.
4. Shows signs of deprivation ( trembling, nerves, sweating, illusions, even delusions) six to eight hours after the last drink.
5. Drinks to relieve the above symptoms.
6. The amount of alcohol consumed is no longer socially connected. The patient needs to consume alcohol so that the symptoms mentioned above do not occur
