Brief Answer:
Multiple answers.

Detailed Answer:
I am answering ONE question at a time. ok, two, 2 mg three times a day is about the top dose of klonapin (6 mg; 2 mg at a time). 14 by itself might make someone very very sleepy. It is bad to drive on it, but by itself very unlikely to kill someone. Use for more than a brief period of time WILL get someone dependent on it and cause serious or even fatal consequences if it is stopped suddenly.

Next.
Addiction is being outside of normal regulation of taking a drug. People without any behavior controls (bipolar/manic-depressives/ severe personality disorders) will have problems with alcohol very fast and without the length of time of taking it that people with normal behavioral controls will have. Furthermore it is quite common for people from backgrounds / families /even cultures that do not have controls/norms/habits/customs on taking alcohol to have more problems with it. There are different SETS of problems / indicators that someone is going progressively more uncontrolled on alcohol:
chemical signs--> this is called "dependence" and it is when you need continual alcohol to be normal and if you don't get the alcohol you cannot function. This is a bad sign. Withdrawal seizures, needing alcohol first thing in the morning, needing alcohol every single day, are signs of dependence.
Emergency room visits for alcohol withdrawal are a sign, too. Plain signs of alcohol toxicity are another set of signs. Cirrhosis and its consequences, ER visits from too much alcohol

Personality signs: if the person's personality doesn't operate normally associated with alcohol use, that is a sign of increasingly becoming uncontrolled on alcohol use. Wanting to quit or cut down and not being able to. Being forlorn/sad/argumentative/defensive when deprived of alcohol (but somehow that's normal with eating behaviors ?!?!?!). Hiding one's alcohol use from other people. Other people having issues from the alcohol or consequences of the alcohol is another set of signs in this category. This can also sort of include the use of substitute drugs for alcohol. Some--klonapin and xanax--are quite similar, have the same addicitons and dangers and should never be used WITH alcohol. Others are safe to use with alcohol (zoloft and most other anti-depressants for example), but are an indicator that something has gone wrong somewhere if they are needed.

Social signs. DUI's legal and divorce issues and still drinking more not less are signs of discontrol.

These are packaged in different sets of small numbers of questions called the MAST questionairres.
