Question: Do Only Alcoholics Experience Problems from Alcohol?
Answer: No. Even if you are not alcoholic, abusing alcohol can have negative results, such failure to meet major work, school, or family responsibilities because of drinking; alcohol-related legal trouble; automobile crashes due to drinking; and a variety of alcohol-related medical problems.
Under some circumstances, problems can result from even moderate drinking -- for example, when driving, during pregnancy, or when taking certain medicines. (See also Alcohol Alert No. 30: Diagnostic Criteria for Alcohol Abuse and Dependence.)
