Drinking too much alcohol is not advisable as it has negative effects on your health. 

Here are three signs you drink too much.

1. You need alcohol to feel glamorous or confident

When it comes to portraying your confidence, it is important for you to be able to portray it even without consuming anything. However, if it happens that you must drink alcohol for you to gain the confidence to do something, then this is a sign that you are dependent on alcohol.

2. People close to you become concerned

It is rare for people close to you to start getting concerned about your alcohol intake. Therefore, if they happen to become concerned, then that should tell you that you are drinking too much.

3. You begin to shirk some of your responsibilities

When you start to ignore your responsibilities just to get time to drink, this automatically proves that you drink too much. Alcohol should never hinder one from attending to their responsibilities.
