Googling “Drinking In The Morning” Could Be A Sign

Two of the top searches that lead people to TDA are “drinking alone” and “drinking in the morning“. Those searches will direct people to these two posts – Alcoholism: Drinking Alone is not a Sure Sign and Drinking in the Morning. In both posts, TDA points out neither is a sure sign that you are an alcoholic and I would agree. Are you having a beer or two while watching the game alone after work or pounding a six pack just so you can forget the day? Are you indulging in a mimosa with friends for brunch or knocking back a few shots to quell the shakes. He explains that the reason for both activities is the true test. However, I would like to add that while those acts might not be a sure sign, I would suggest that if you are googling those terms in search of an answer to a question about yourself… your drinking is of concern and your concern is justified.

I can’t imagine that if one did not think there might be an issue, that they would google these terms on a whim. Now, it may be that the googler is seeking insight into another’s behavior; but if you are surfing the net to analyze your own behavior, I would deduce that you do think there is a problem…and I would suggest taking some proactive measures. So again, the indicator in my opinion is the reason for the search. Is it for someone you know, or you know who?
