disease and its characteristics.
Alcoholism is usually defined by the following traits:

To understand how alcoholism might be affecting your life, take a look at the statements below. If three or more of them, occurring at any time in the same 12-month period, apply to you or you observe these traits in a family member or friend, you should consider talking to you doctor or healthcare provider.
- It takes more alcohol to get “high” than it did before.
- I have a few drinks to decrease my shakiness, nausea, or sweating.
- I can’t stop drinking once I start.
- I spend a lot of time thinking about drinking.
- I have tried and failed to cut down or stop.
- I have alcohol-related medical or behavioral problems.
- I have cut down on social or professional activities in order to drink.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
