[CuriousCat]

I'm looking for help understanding the signs of alcoholism. I'm wondering if anyone can share the top 10 signs of an alcoholic? I'm concerned that someone I know may be an alcoholic and I'm looking for insight into what to look for. Does anyone have any advice or experience they can share? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
