Progressive increases in the frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption can begin to produce more serious medical symptoms of alcoholism. Someone abusing alcohol makes drinking a central activity of her life, displacing healthy activity and relationships, and resulting in negative consequences. Alcohol abusers often maintain some capacity to recognize situations that lead to over-consumption, and to regulate their alcohol intake. Signs of alcohol abuse include:
- Loss of control over amount consumed once they begin drinking
- Regular inattention to family and professional obligations
- Dangerous behaviors that carry risk of legal, financial and/or health consequences for themselves and others
- Increase in expressions of anger or other emotions, especially in inappropriate settings
- Insomnia, which may be followed by oversleeping
