Many alcoholics will deny that they have a drinking problem whatsoever. Alcoholics can come up with a number of excuses to justify their drinking, i.e. blaming it on work, stress or a relationship. Their denial can be so powerful that they simply cannot see how much their drinking is causing negative consequences in their life.
Blood Alcohol Level of .20%: You feel confused, dazed, or otherwise disoriented. You need help to stand up or walk. If you hurt yourself at this point, you probably won't realize it because you won't feel pain. If you are aware you've injured yourself, chances are you won't do anything about it. At this point you may experience nausea and/or start vomiting (keep in mind that for some people, a lower blood alcohol level than .20% may cause vomiting). Your gag reflex is impaired, so you could choke if you do throw up. Since blackouts are likely at this level, you may not remember any of this.
Chronic heavy drinkers will often have dilated veins in the esophagus, signs of liver disease, and brain damage; another common symptom of constant excessive drinking is a loss of cognitive function.
Consuming one or two drinks per day for healthy men and one drink a day for healthy non-pregnant women is generally considered acceptable consumption without health risks.
