When should you suspect that a person has a drinking problem?
Many people with a drinking problem do not seek help until their health is very bad. Even when they do, the drinking problem is often undetected and untreated. It is important to be aware that many health problems are related to drinking. You should briefly ask about drinking behaviour when anyone comes to see you, but give special attention to this with people who come with any of the following:
• unexplained accidents or injuries;
• burning in the stomach area or vomiting blood;
• relationship problems in the family or with friends;
• repeated sicknesses and absence from work;
• mental health problems such as depression and anxiety;
• sleep difficulties;
• sexual difficulties, such as impotence.
