How Do Drinking Symptoms Develop?
Researchers have confirmed an easily recognizable, time-ordered sequence of drinking symptoms that take place in the typical alcoholic. This progression is a step-by-step pattern, with one phase merging almost imperceptibly into the next. It often takes months or years to go from one step to the next. The progression occurs in the same form in people of high or low I.Q., much or little education and in any station in life.
