The signs and symptoms of alcohol dependence includeâ. 1  A strong craving for alcohol. 2  Continued use despite repeated physical, psychological, or interpersonal problems. 3  The inability to limit drinking.ccording to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism binge drinking is defined as a pattern of alcohol consumption that brings the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to 0.08% or more.
The blue-black/purple tongue gene appears to be dominant, as most mixed breed dogs that come from a Chow Chow retain that tongue colour. However, the blue-black/purple tongue can also be found on the Shar Pei.
One is an emergency and the other just the way the dog is. 1  Grey or blue tinge to a normally pink tongue means oxygen is not getting through the blood right and you need to seek veterinary attention immediately. In your case it will be important to note if it suddenly gets worse with activity as it can suggest a heart problem.
