    Thanks for the TLDR, I agree all of those are very bad, and strong indicators of alcoholism.
    But I’m very surprised that as many as 10% 12+ year experience that within a year? (12% men 8% women)
    But maybe that’s because I never had problems myself, when I was younger I hated if I could feel alcohol clouding my thoughts just the slightest. So I basically didn’t drink at all while in education. I probably still choose to be with people that don’t drink much, because I still absolutely prefer moderation.

    I know your numbers are American, but I think it’s probably about the same here. Again I’m honestly very surprised that so many people have such serious problems?
