Not all alcoholics are identical. Some have become very good at hiding their addiction. But anyone abusing alcohol will inevitably make mistakes trying to hide it from others. You need to be aware, that the alcoholic will not see the changes happening to them.
Alcoholism creeps up, and one day they find out they can’t stop, and their life is spiralling out of control. The person tries to hide their problem out of embarrassment or pride.

It is one thing for a person to have a bad day and quite another to have weird and continuous daily troubles. The most effective way to uncover addiction is to request a urine test (for drugs) or a breathalyzer (for alcohol). These tests are available in most pharmacies.
If the person refuses or finds ways not to do it, it is a sign that they are attempting to hide what they are doing. When a person refuses a test, tell them that it can be another time. Wait a day and request it again. If they decline again, you should sit them down and have a good talk with them. Make it safe for them to tell the truth about what is happening. Help them be honest, and this will be the first step to getting professional help.
