Alcohol Quiz: In our society, drinking alcoholic beverages is generally considered a normal and appropriate way to modify mood or behavior. Given that alcohol is such a common, popular element in so many activities, it can be hard to see when drinking has crossed the line from moderate or social use to problem drinking. Alcoholism and alcohol abuse can sneak up on you, so it is important to be aware of the warning signs of a drinking problem and take steps to cut back if you recognize them. If you would like a quick check of your own drinking behavior, take the following quiz.
