ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE –
Sept. 3, 2024 – In fact, people who appear as ‘functional’ – but still drink excessively – can sometimes struggle to realise they might have a problem in the first place. Even celebrities are starting to speak out on their relationship with alcohol including Adele, who revealed she was becoming ‘a borderline alcoholic’ before she stopped drinking.
Speaking to her audience the singer confessed: “I stopped drinking maybe like three and a half months ago.”
“It’s boring. I mean, I was literally borderline alcoholic for quite a lot of my 20s, but I miss it so much.”
So what are the signs of being ‘borderline alcoholic’? And what can you do if you recognise this kind of behaviour in yourself? Dr. Dave Nichols, who is a medical adviser at MyHealthChecked, has explained the types of behaviour that could indicate you’re on the edge of becoming dependant on alcohol.
He told The Sun: “A lot of people know that they sometimes drink too much, but many don’t know where the line is when it comes to problematic alcohol consumption.
“It describes a pattern of harmful drinking where you may have a drink, or several drinks, every day or regularly binge drink.”
