<human>: How can I tell the difference between an alcoholic and an addict?
<bot>: You can tell the difference by asking yourself a few questions. Do they seem to be drinking more than usual or have increased cravings for alcohol? Are they spending money on alcohol that would otherwise go towards necessities like food or rent? Are they avoiding social events, work, school, etc.? Are they neglecting their responsibilities at home or work? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it is likely that your loved one has an addiction problem.
