How Well Do You Hold Your Liquor?

If you can drink more than most people you know and still be having a good time while others who drink the same amount are stumbling around out of control, then you have a high tolerance for alcohol. A high tolerance is a indicator of ability to develop alcoholism. Think about whether alcohol is causing problems in your life; if it is, and you have a high tolerance, you may wish to consult an addictions professional to check out whether you have, or are developing, a problem.

Does a DUI or DWI Charge Mean You Have a Problem?

A large percentage of persons charged with a DUI (.08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or above) have a diagnosable alcohol problem. A person who does not have a high tolerance for alcohol would not think he/she is sober enough to drive at a blood alcohol concentration of .08 and above. Usually only persons with a behavioral tolerance, meaning a history of drinking and a tolerance for alcohol that allows them to act as if they are not impaired, and even think they are not impaired, when they are, will drive with an illegal BAC. If you drive as a pattern of behavior (say, one-to-times a month) with a BAC that you know is illegal, there is a good chance you may have an alcohol problem.

DUI or DWI Evaluations

If you have a DUI or DWI charge pending and your attorney tells you to get an assessment or evaluation of your drinking by a licensed addictions counselor, or if you have been ordered by a court to get such an evaluation, go to my site and get my qualifications and ask the attorney or court if you can have the evaluation done by me online. If the answer is affirmative, then go to my site and follow the directions there. E-mail me with any questions you have. Here is my contact information:
