Are You Showing Alcoholism Warning Signs?
Alcoholism, or an Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), is one of the most common addictions in the US. In 2019, nearly 15 million Americans struggled with an AUD. Among this group, there are an estimated 95,000 alcohol-related deaths per year. With a problem this big and this serious, it is important to know what alcoholism warning signs are.
