The point when drinking becomes a drinking problem is different for each individual that chooses to drink. The National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism recommends that men consume no more than two drinks per day, and women should have no more than one drink per day. Research shows that there are different genes that affect a person's ability to develop drinking problems. Additional factors that lead to drinking problems include an individual person's emotional, psychological and social well-being.
