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 :manny: still in the best shape of my life tho :takedat:

Aw see that's your number one problem there. I drink upwards of a gallon a day AND eat my water (greens, tomatos, etc) typically exercise outdoors but I'm having to adjust with daylight savings time :francis: testing different methods.... anyway, the point is, every drink is a debt to your body. Pay it back two-fold and I bet you'll see your habits change.

Before I became a Muslim I would watch a movie or TV show and if they drank alcohol, like whiskey or beer or something, I would crave to drink some too and would often get it. To me once you've hit that point you're an alcoholic.

My granddaddy was an alcoholic (RIP)

Real drunks aren't the people you see getting liquored up at the club, they're the ones that wake up in the morning and drink beer all day

Probably near half of adults in society are alcoholics.

Doesn’t mean they drink every day. If you drink every time you go out to dinner, celebrate something, meet up with certain people your an alcoholic. Myself included.
A person that goes out to eat, and celebrates with drinks a few times out the year is not a damn alcoholic.

Does u posting on The Coli every week make u a Coliholic?

You can decide for yourself what alcoholism is. I’m not going to compare a poison that destroys your mind/body to a website for conversation.

For many of us, alcohol is almost always part of a good time. Or a time when we want to relax, or just because it’s Friday. To me, that is alcoholism. You may not be an acute alcoholic but to a degree an alcoholic.

No you can't.

Alcoholism has a set definition:


It is continuing to drink despite acknowledging that alcohol is causing issues.

That's it. If you go out and have a couple drinks, or drink a glass of wine because you had a steak, that's not alcoholism.
