Alcohol Use and Co-Occurring Disorders

Alcohol use disorders rarely occur without a co-occurring mental disorder. Individuals struggling with alcohol use may also be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and other substance use disorders.

Alcohol Use and Mood Swings

One of the most telling signs of alcohol dependence in adolescents is extreme mood swings. Adolescents who struggle with alcohol dependence may seem combative and aggressive, suppress feelings of sadness, or act unusually agreeable.

Risk Factors of Substance Abuse

In general, drug or alcohol dependence is not the result of a single factor. Rather, it is the result of several physical, genetic, and environmental risk factors. For adolescents, having family members who are struggling with addiction increases their risk of developing an addiction themselves.

Chronic, repeated alcohol or drug use can also change the structure of their still-developing brains. Moreover, environmental factors like peer pressure and stress can result in drug or alcohol use as a way to cope.

Physical Signs of Alcohol Addiction in Teens

Signs of alcohol addiction in teens can vary widely and may include mental, emotional, behavioral, and physical symptoms. For most adolescents, alcohol problems stem from depression, anxiety, or trauma. The physical signs of alcohol dependence include bloodshot eyes, slow or slurred speech, and fatigue.

A teenager struggling with alcohol use may also experience deteriorating physical hygiene and grooming. Other signs include the smell of alcohol on a teenager’s breath, as well as building up a tolerance to alcohol that results in drinking progressively more over time.
