Alcoholism

What would you say are the signs of alcohol dependency? Which roads would you suggest someone go down if they felt they felt they had this?

In the case of a uni student, would a large alcohol intake be considered part and parcel of life, or should it be cause for concern?

Part and parcel 100% xD
If you feel like you have it, talk to your university counsellor.
These are the symptoms from wikipedia:

Warning signs of alcoholism include the consumption of increasing amounts of alcohol and frequent intoxication, preoccupation with drinking to the exclusion of other activities, promises to quit drinking and failure to keep those promises, the inability to remember what was said or done while drinking (colloquially known as "blackouts"), personality changes associated with drinking, denial or the making of excuses for drinking, the refusal to admit excessive drinking, dysfunction or other problems at work or school, the loss of interest in personal appearance or hygiene, marital and economic problems, and the complaint of poor health, with loss of appetite, respiratory infections, or increased anxiety
