"According to a recent article in Men’s Health, George Koob, Ph.D., believes having a drink or two every night isn’t an absolute indication you’re headed for trouble. In fact, there’s very little data about one or two drinks negatively impacting your health or hastening your decline into alcoholism."

But how do you know if you’re addicted to alcohol or simply just dependent on it?

Koob states, “Even if you find yourself feeling irritable or antsy when you miss your evening drink, that’s not a sign that you’re addicted, per se.”

There are certain situations that should cause concern, such as:

- A family history of alcoholism
- Slamming down your first drink of the day in one or two gulps
- Using alcohol as a coping mechanism"
