Is it normal that i crave more drinks after just one?

When I get the urge to drink I can’t just have one or two drinks. I have to have enough to get me drunk. Am I an alcoholic?

Is It Normal?

  • There's a saying: "I don't drink a lot, but when I drink a little I become a different person, and they drink a lot."

    This is exceedingly common.

  • Alcohol is addictive and it makes you feel relaxed. It is quite normal to enjoy the sensation of enjoyment from drinking an alcoholic beverage. When we are enjoying ourselves it’s a natural human reaction to want to carry on. The problem is that because it also dulls our senses we don’t necessarily realise when we have had too much. We usually work that out when we feel ill or when we wake up the next morning with a hangover.
