The stages, for a early staged drinker, are wasting time to find more drinks when you could be working or stopping your addiction, doing the wrong things to get a drink such as shoplifting and stealing, and finally you start to emotional decay.

The Mid-Staged Drinker can start to feel overly jealous and emotionally disturbed, they also start to shut themselves out from the rest of the world such as quitting their job to get a drink or not keeping in touch with their family.

Finally a Late-Staged drinker starts to have health issues if you didn’t already. You will start to experience hepatic and liver failure and liver disease with acute pancreatitis. The first thing you do when you wake up is take a drink of alcohol and before you go to bed you have a drink. You don’t have a job and your family has either given up on you or is trying their best to help you stop drinking.
