Alcoholism Sign #7: Secret Drinking
There’s nothing wrong with drinking per se. There is obviously a need to be careful of how much you drink and how often, but there is no shame in having a drink from time to time. There is usually no need to hide it from anybody or to lie about your drinking habits. If you do find yourself lying about it, though, then there’s probably something wrong.
If you need to hide the details of your drinking because you think you’re drinking too much, then you probably are. Many people that drink in secret are already aware deep down that they have a problem. They just haven’t yet got to the point where they acknowledge that they need to do something about it.
