Saw a report that the biggest drunks now are young professional women..all those cocktails and ladies night specials going out with their girlfriend damn near daily after work has resulted in that..

I got fam I consider to be an alcoholic. He’s constantly drinking, like more liquor than anything else.

Is it a disease? Probably. He can’t shake that shyt, not that he’d want to.

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

And do you consider alcoholism a disease?

I see alcohol asa problem when they feel sick if they haven’t drunk. When the symptoms of sobriety causes pain then its a problem

Its an addiction and its serious it becomes one when you cant go without it and cant function without alcohol

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

I see folks in this thread people are ignoring the chaos regardless if it's self-inflicted or harms other people.

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

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

This

As for the second question on Whether or not it's a disease should be left up experts who actually classify these things.

I'd consider it alcoholism if you're physically addicted and get withdrawal symptoms after a day or two not drinking.

That said, you can still abuse alcohol without necessarily being an alcoholic. Lots of weekend binge drinkers (I used to be one in college).

 

[ScoopNScore]

It's gotta be drinking by oneself every single day, not being able to skip a day, or not remembering limits when going out

 

[GoAggieGo.]

I’d consider myself borderline, I guess. A functioning alcoholic. I don’t get the shakes or none of that shyt, but I do drink something 5 or 6 days out the week. Usually one or two cups a night. Something to take the edge off

Ima hit up this lounge I go to on the regular in the next hour, soon as I get a quick workout in.
