If you feel that you need a drink every night or to get through a social event, stressful situation or personal struggle, and you have a compulsion to drink or constantly crave alcohol, maybe even daily, this could be a sign of psychological dependency.
Why can't I stop drinking at night?
Some of the most common reasons people drink at night include: Seeing alcohol as a 'reward' at the end of the day. Using alcohol as a sleep aid. Drinking at social events in the evening.
