What do you consider alcoholism?

[Apprentice]

How often does someone have to drink for yourself to deem them alcoholic

And do you consider alcoholism a disease?

 

[Buddy]

I'd say having a drink every day/mutiple times a week. I usually have two tall cans after work. I consider myself a functioning alcoholic still in the best shape of my life tho

Drinking...everyday...finding excuses to drink under any circumstances.

You’re like my cousin and I wouldn’t consider him an alcoholic

He drink at the end of the day before he slump type, I think that’s controllable

1. You need to have a drink to relax/sleep/decompress
2. You need to have a drink to have fun/interact with the opposite sex

Anything more than five drinks a week.

But thankfully its the second easiest drug to kick

Then what does it even mean to be an alcoholic.

Emphasis on functioning. I mean I'm not no damn wino begging for a dollar or getting sloppy, and I almost never drink liquor. Get up every morning and murder my teammates in productivity but that's still a lot of alcohol.

Cigarettes.

I don’t drink at all, so I maybe biased but I feel as long as you don’t let it impact your life to the point you’re declining noticeably then yeah you have a problem.

But truth be told there’s a lot of grey areas with it in the context of alcohol that people don’t take into consideration or realize and just labeling folks alcoholics is unnecessary

i used to think that if you did it in moderation it was ok, as "they" told us.

now that it's becoming known that no amount of alcohol is safe for consumption, if you drinking on a regular basis then you probably an alcoholic because one of the signs of being addicted is continuing to use a substance even when there are negative consequences.

When you’re getting drinks at opening hours of stores

Its not have often they drink. It's the why and results of it. Second question is a yes.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

it's not about drinking often

some people have a drink everyday and go about their business others have to drink and drink themselves into a sorry state or affect their health and life in general. someone having a beer a day and someone that drink a bottle of whiskey daily or they get the shakes and withdrawal is not the same shyt

3. If you don’t have a drink, you’ll get the shakes.
