BEWARE –
Dec. 29, 2025 – The likes of Adele, Tom Holland and Daniel Radcliffe have all opened up about how they have gone teetotal after drinking heavily during their youth – Adele described herself as being a ‘borderline alcoholic’ in her twenties, Holland has said he was ‘obsessed’ with booze, and Radcliffe has revealed he used to drink to cope with fame.
According to the NHS, alcohol misuse is “when you drink in a way that’s harmful, or when you’re dependent on alcohol.”
But what are the main signs that you may be developing, or have developed, an unhealthy relationship with alcohol?
Dr Dave Nichols, an NHS GP and medical adviser at website MyHealthChecked, has revealed the six signs you should watch out for:
- 1) You drink alcohol every day without thinking about it
- 2) You binge-drink regularly
- 3) You only socialise where drink is involved
- 4) You drink regularly during the day
- 5) You find it annoying when others are not drinking
