How To Tell If Someone Is An Alcoholic

How can I tell if someone is an alcoholic?

An alcoholic is someone who persistently or consistently drinks more than everyone else, and is encouraging people to drink more. An alcoholic is someone who the next day often wants to get up and the first thing they say is "let's go and have another drink". Observe them. They may be sweating, shaking, have anxiety, or they may often be nauseous in the mornings. Alcohol will have become the prime thing in their lives. They're not making too many decisions without alcohol, and they're missing things when alcohol isn't involved. Those would be pretty good warning signs.
