If the young people particularly teenager start drinking, then they have more chances to become addicted to alcohol at some point in their life. A research reveals that people who start drinking before the age of 15 have 40% more risk of becoming alcoholic. Young drinkers will eventually get the problem of alcoholism. A self test for teenage people to determine whether they have the problem of alcoholism or not is given below:

1. Have you lost your school time due to drinking?
2. Do you use drinking a way to escape your worries and stress?
3. Do you feel comfortable while drinking in social events?
4. Do you want to drink in secret?
5. Have you ever faced any legal problems due to drinking?
6. Do you feel irritated when someone comments on your drinking habit?
7. Do you face any financial burden due to over buying of alcohol?
8. Do you feel guilty of your drinking habit?
9. Do your parents annoy you about your drinking habit?
10.  Do you have a family history of Alcoholism?
11. Have you ever faced any problem with police due to your drinking habit?

If your answer is yes to any of the questions then it really means that you may have alcoholism disorder. However you can get rid of this problem if you are really willing to quit drinking. There are many types of treatments available to teenage alcoholism.

The treatment to teenage alcoholism is somewhat different to that of adult alcoholism. You can not employ the same methods used to treat an adult alcoholic for a teenager. One of the treatments to teenage alcoholism involves freeing the teenager from bad peers since many teenagers get into alcoholism due to peer pressure. If you eliminate the friends who are alcohol addicts, then it will be easy to treat your alcoholism problem.

Another method of treatment to teenage alcoholism is counseling. Proper counseling should be given to the teenager in the way he\she can understand the cause of the problem and the consequences of the problem. The counseling can be given to him\her with the help of an ex-alcoholic also. This will help the young people to understand the dreadful effects of alcoholism.

Most of the teenagers do not have a clear idea of alcoholism. They will think that they ill never become addict to alcohols. But it will happen when the person is a novelty seeking personality. The three important causes for why a teenager falls into the habit of alcoholic are family problems, stress and a desire to become more popular. Teenage is period of slight confusion. Teenagers often see their parents drink whenever they get stress. They take this wrong example to get into the habit of drinking. They may not be aware of the fact that alcohol will produce long term side effects and will affect their future. Hence it is the responsibility of the parents to observe their children to know whether they are becoming addicts to alcohol. They should help their children to get rid of this problem.
