8 Warning Signs Someone Is A High-Functioning Alcoholic
Preferring Alcohol Over Food
These people would skip meals to get drunk and have little or no interest in food when it comes to choosing between consuming a drink or having something to eat.
Drinking In Every Situation
They would drink in every situation, no matter how happy or sad it is. They use alcohol to deal with their emotions and don’t want to face reality.
Rare Hangover
High-functioning alcoholics don’t get a hangover because they become increasingly dependent on the substance.
Can’t Have Just One Drink
People with excessive drinking issues can’t just have one drink at a time; they would literally binge drink in one sitting.
Denying The Problem
Love isn’t a one-time event; it’s a continuous journey. A man who loves you deeply will put effort into keeping the romance alive.
Getting Defensive About Their Drinking
Another classic sign of alcohol use disorder is that people with it get defensive about their drinking habits when their friends and family try to talk to them or help them cutting back on alcohol.
Engaging in Risky Business While Drinking
People who are high-functioning alcoholics often engage themselves in risky business due to their overconfidence as they think they can do anything.
A high-functioning alcoholic may tries to cut back on alcohol or quit drinking altogether.
