i think logically cyra is right. but since 1. is a part of the CAGE quesionnaire, i would choose 1.

yep! I'd pick seizure after withdrawal too - strongest indicator of dependency.

well CAGE for seeing that, if he is a problem drinker or not.
seziure is for hospital addmited patient, thas how they got seziure.
And I think for ABUSE is recurrent drunk driving.
Ujaala and cyra, you are right.
