During the holidays, it’s easy to brush off changes in drinking as just part of the celebration. But sometimes the signs are quieter: like drinking to “take the edge off,” becoming secretive, or getting irritable if alcohol isn’t available. If you find yourself or a loved one always reaching for a drink at gatherings, or making excuses to have more, these could be early warning signs of alcohol addiction.
