TRANSCRIPT
This year you are more cre-ative and in touch with your inner self. As a result, a new quality appears in your de-meanor, speech, ideas and many other areas of your life. If you are single, you are in the pro-cess of changing. The person you choose now might not work for you later. Go for the here and now. If you are attached, your sweetie will need to adjust to the ever-changing you.
You might go off boldly in the morning, but you’ll want to retreat by the afternoon. A lot is on your mind, which could discourage you from taking action. To-night: Not to be found.
You will perk up as the day goes on. You have many ideas, and you see a great deal of possibilities tied to them. Your mind seems to be on overdrive — go with it! Tonight: With your pals.
You might sense a change in your mood and in others’ moods as well. Don’t worry about what you can’t change; instead, focus on yourself. Tonight: A must appearance.
Understand what is going on with a loved one. This person might need you to bottom-line a critical issue for him or her. Tonight: Sur-round yourself with good music.
Try not to assume the role of leader right now. You have a great sense of what to do and when, but let
others also take center stagesometimes. Tonight: Dinnerfor two.
Defer to someone else for the time being. Youwill notice that others seem tobe just as confused as you are.Take a step back, and observewhat is happening. Tonight:Say “yes” to the moment.
You could feel a bit down. Pace yourself,and handle a personal mat-ter. Examine what is hap-pening with a work-relatedmatter as well. Tonight:Pace yourself.
Your imagina-tion knows no limits. Howmuch you choose to sharewill be your call. Othersmight seem more receptivethan usual. Tonight: Make itmemorable!
Verbalizing your thoughts will add an interestingtwist to a situation, and it couldresult in more information. Youcould be taken aback by a keyperson’s change in attitude. To-night: Happy at home.
Listen to whatis being shared. Only youcan judge the importanceof all the information youare hearing. Tonight: Golocal. Enjoy a neighbor-hood restaurant.
Deal with a moneymatter directly — you can’tput off this decision formuch longer. News couldcome in from someone at adistance. Tonight: Treat afriend.
You could find a situation testy at best. Allowyour creativity to flourish, andyou’ll see a personal mattervery differently in a few days.Tonight: There will be manychoices.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am worried about my husband, who is 52 years old. He is thin, in good physical health and is taking cholesterol pills. He works every day, and every night he drinks 12 or more beers. I have talked to him about this, and he gets upset. He says he is relaxing! He reads the paper and your col-umn every day. Can you write about the effects of drinking so much every night and what it can do to your body? I think he is a functioning alcoholic. Many nights, when he drinks 12 or more, he sways to the bedroom! — V.
ANSWER: The terms “al-coholic” and “alcoholism,” along with the medical terms “alcohol dependence” and “al-cohol abuse” are now classified as “alcohol use disorder.” It is very common in the U.S. and Canada, with more than 10 per-cent of adults meeting the crite-ria for alcohol excess.
Excess alcohol use has seri-ous consequences, increasing risk for hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver, high blood pres-sure, pancreatitis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, many cancers, de-mentia and stroke, and disease of the heart muscle.
Common symptoms of al-cohol use disorder include a decreased ability to control drinking behavior, continued drinking despite adverse conse-quences, preoccupation with alcohol and distorted thinking — especially denial. Drinking quickly and drinking to relieve stress, as your husband has in-dicated, are symptoms of loss of control over alcohol.
While I can’t make the di-agnosis of alcohol use disorder in your husband without a thorough history, the amount he is drinking and some of the comments you have reported make me very concerned that he indeed does have a real problem with alcohol. A visit to his doctor might include tests looking for damage to the liver, pancreas and bone mar-row from alcohol.
I certainly can give your husband specific advice to re-duce his drinking now, since doing so will reduce the dam-age the alcohol is doing to the body. I recommend NEVER exceeding five drinks at any one time. Cutting down now will make it easier and safer to stop entirely. However, only your husband can decide how ready he is to make a change. There are many resources avail-able to him, from his own doc-tor to a specialist in alcohol use, such as a social worker, psy-chologist or addiction medicine specialist experienced in help-ing people with alcohol use. I have also had many patients who have had success with AA and similar organizations.
