Human: How can I tell if someone has a drinking problem? Assistant: 
If you suspect that someone may have a drinking problem, it's important to ask them directly about their drinking habits. Listen carefully to their answers and be aware of any changes in behavior or mood they may display when discussing alcohol. You could also look for signs such as physical symptoms like red eyes, slurred speech, or slow movements; emotional symptoms like irritability, anxiety, or depression; or social consequences like missing work, arguments with family members, or financial difficulties.
