Corey has overcome several stints in rehab, even sharing the signs that led to him realising that he had a drinking problem in the past.

He's previously explained how to tell if you've got a drinking problem, as the issue is more in-depth than many would believe, but he has now explained that there are three types of people who should avoid a pint at all costs.

Speaking in a YouTube short, the US influencer claims that you should give up alcohol if you fit in to one of these categories.

You may have seen this drinker on nights out, but Corey says that this type of person shouldn't turn to alcohol in the presence of negativity.

"If you're mad, sad, or had a bad day and you turn to alcohol, then that means that alcohol is your solution for life's problems and you should not drink alcohol," he claims.

Corey went on: "If just one turns to two, turns to four and turns to eight, if you can't just stop at one, then you should not drink alcohol."

You might know someone who can't let a pint be a lone pint, and this is who Corey is speaking about.

He has previously spoken about the frequency of his drinking habits, pulling from his own experiences to explain this one.

The American content creator claims that regular drinkers should also give sobriety a go, claiming: "If you drink at dinner and drink on vacation and alcohol has became a normal part of your everyday routine and your life feels boring or empty without it, then you should not drink alcohol."

He added that you can 'better your life', simply by 'getting all this alcohol out of it', offering his services to help anyone give up the habit if they think they would benefit from it.

According to Drink Aware, alcohol dependence doesn't always mean that someone is drinking extreme levels of alcohol, and anyone who regularly drinks could be considered dependent.

HSE lists a few symptoms as being:

While not an official diagnosis, a high-functioning alcoholic is a colloquial term for someone who is dependent on alcohol, but is still relatively functional in their daily life.

Once someone with alcohol use disorder accepts their condition, they can consider treatments and if that is therapy or residential inpatient care.
