- Health Tip: Are You More Than a Social Drinker?

- Answer these questions

(HealthDayNews) -- While you may see yourself as a social drinker, friends and relatives have hinted that your alcohol consumption is excessive.

Find out if you could have a drinking problem by asking yourself these questions, courtesy of the University of Washington:

• Do I drink alone when I feel angry or sad?
• Does drinking ever make me late for work?
• Does drinking worry my family?
• Do I ever drink after telling myself I won't.
• Do I ever forget what I did while I was drinking.
• Do I get headaches or have a hangover after I've been drinking.

If you've answered yes to any of these questions, you should consider getting help for your drinking behavior.
