More or less, whats the least amount of consumption to be considered an alcoholic. (without answering “If the person develops a dependence of alcohol” cuz thats obvious)
i am not sure the about the amount but i do know that when one starts to drink for no reason just because they feel like is one of the sign to for an alcoholic
Usually they want to drink daily, by night they are Shit Faced.
They get into arguments over when/how they are going to get their choice of alcohol. Like “When are we going to get my beer?” “We don’t need that this week, besides, I have to get my beer!”
There is nothing wrong with coming home from work and having a couple of beers everyday, some days more beers than others. But when you put stuff off and refuse to go places, and when you sulk and NEED a beer very often, you have a problem.
Being alcoholic has nothing to do with how often one drinks. Yeah, really.
There are many alcoholics that drink daily, many that don’t.
These are the things that make an alcoholic:
1) Once they start drinking, they cannot stop…in other words, in one sitting, they cannot have just one drink, they have to have more.
2) They obsess about drinking when they’re not drinking
3) ….something that non-alcoholics may not understand, so I won’t write it here.
In my opinion the error here is trying to measure everything against the all or nothing absolute of being an alcoholic.
Problem drinkers are like cocktails. They may share certain qualities or emotional disturbances with other drinkers, but are not exactly the same and are completely different to others.
It isn’t helpful to limit your viewpoint to either someone is an alcoholic or not. Some people might drink heavily all their life with no real problems, while others might drink only a tiny amount and feel the need to and have difficulty giving it up. Some get a problem after years of steady, but not over the top drinking, maybe from years of entertaining business clients, but otherwise they would be regarded as pretty average people. Others, especially young people, may be emotionally disturbed and drinking becomes a second problem on top of and later complicating their original problems. Some people plod along in life, but a tragedy proves too much for them.
The answer to whether drinknig is a problem doesn’t really lay in other peoples definitions, although these might add to your opinions. The answer lays in asknig yourself if it is a problem for you and if it is are you capable of doing something about it on your own or do you need some kind of help. Problem drinkers are so variable.
It doesn’t matter how often you drink before you become an alcoholic.
Some people can drink every day of their adult lives, and not become alcoholics.
Others just have to taste it once and from then on they can’t live without it.
You may not want answers based on dependency, but thats the only true answer you can have.
An alcoholic can’t function without alcohol, so has to drink every day.

you become an alcoholic when you need alcohol in your life and you have the need to be drinking constantly.

Everyday.. when you feel that youre missing something on the daily and that something is alcohol
Thats when u know
Pretty much everyday. If they HAVE to have some alcohol everyday and go ape$hit if they don’t get any then that’s not a good sign
It’s not how often you drink.
Do you just grab a beer and sit down by yourself and drink I think that is alcoholic.
You put drinking in front of other things (I’ll do it later I’m just going to have a couple of beers).
Just remember being an alcoholic you hurt your family and friends because you do things you do not intend to.
