Do a few evening beers make your mornings un-beer-able? Does a vodka martini make your brain feel shaken, or stirred? Has a Dark ‘N’ Stormy been clouding your thoughts?
For most people, the occasional night out is not a big deal — but when a hangover becomes a regular part of your weekend routine it’s a sign something might not be right.
It’s an alarming statistic that one in five Australian adults regularly drink harmful amounts of alcohol. This chronic alcohol use can cause liver failure, stomach ulcers, bleeding problems, damaged nerves, injured brain cells and an increased risk of some cancers.
It can take years of regular hangovers before people even consider whether they might have a problem, but sometimes you’ve just got to ask the right questions.
The following questionnaire can help you quickly screen your friends, family or partner. While this isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation it is thought that if someone answers “yes” to two or more questions then it might be time to chat with your doctor to work out if alcohol is a problem for you.

I always feel better after my morning Bloody Mary...
I’m not good at tests, and the odds are against me here.
The questions from the article:
1. Have you ever thought about cutting do on your drinking?
2. Have you been annoyed by others criticizing your drinking?
3. Do you ever feel guilty about drinking?
4. Do you fix your hangover with the ‘hair of the dog’?
I guess it's okay...I just had a Yuengling......
“1. Have you ever thought about cutting do on your drinking?”
Have “you” ever thought about sobering up and getting an editor to proof read your work before going to press?

Strangely enough, Hillary Clinton was pictured beneath the article in the first of the “click bait” zergnet links.

Alcoholics are quiters. This is called being a drunk.
What do Australian men have to get drunk about? Some of the hottest women on earth with sexy accents isn’t enough? Then again, if you can’t make time with those women, maybe you need the bottle.
ReHab is for quitters
Yeah. Me Too...
Difference between an alcoholic and a drunk is an alcoholic has to go to those meetings.
That’s an imbecilic statement.
LOL!
The “test” among hard drinkers when I was one myself was this: have you ever gotten up and started drinking again to get rid of the nasty hangover?
That’s the beginning of true alcoholism, among functional alcoholics. That’s the route to dysfunction and the gutter.
The NY Post makes me want to drink. Looks I will have to be cutting back on......
