        If you can not go with out drinking then you are an alcoholic. If you have to have one everyday and can't not miss a day you are an alcoholic. An alcoholic doesn't have to be someone that drinks every day. It is one that can't stop even if they wanted too. So if you drink every other day, but could not take a break then you are consider an alcoholic. So don't have one tomorrow if you can do that tell your mom you are not an alcoholic, and if you can't do that then tell mom yes I am alcoholic.

            Getting drunk is not the criteria of what makes some one an alcoholic. You actually can get drunk an not be an alcoholic. Trust me I know.

              I guess this describes me as well.

              I don't mind the taste of many alcoholic beverages, but I have no desire to drink it casually.

                And if you have one beer a day you are not an alcoholic by any means.
                Not true if you can't stop then yes you are an alcoholic. It is not how much you drink, but rather can you stop at anytime from drinking. I would tend to bet it might be hard for Countryboy to stop drinking everyday I hope I am wrong. My brother drunk every night and not only drunk he drink 12 packs every night. And yep you guess it, he was not consider and alcoholic, because he could stop at anytime. In fact that is what he did. He stop drinking one night and never drank again. Now yes he was a drunk, and when he drunk he was ***, but believe it or not he was not an alcoholic.

                  I like to drink every now and then, but I don't get drunk I just try to a good buzz feeling. Screw Drivers do that for me. I usually drank on the weekends, but not every weekend.

                    I see what you are saying, but there is no universally agreed upon definition for alcoholism, at least in academia, so it is a bit subjective. I would disagree about 1 drink a day having negative effects, and alcoholic is certainly a word with a negative connotation.

                      I still love having 1 or 8, but I hate the feeling after in the morning. the reward just doesn't equal the suffering after!

                        I'm sure I will reach that point, but right now in college I am drinking a ton and loving it. Way more than I should or is healthy, but whatever. "It's not called alcoholism until you graduate!" lol

                          No. I don't have "a" drink every day. I have two or three every day and then between 6-12 on the weekends, but that's just me.

                            Actually there is. To be consider an alcoholic you have to not be able to stop. I mean you have to have a drink are you are going to go crazy. It is the same thing about smoking cigs. If you can stop any time and not even for a long time, but the key is you can stop you are not an addict. The key is you being to stop. It is hold for an alcoholic to stop. Now keep mind this is what I learn when I was studying to be a Psychologist. So who knows how accurate it is now. They do change it a lot, but I would still say it is pretty accurate still.

                              Probably is around the same, the problem is that for study data collection there is no real indicator to judge whether a person can stop or not. You can't quantify it so you see alot of "Do you have more than___ drinks in a week?" I have seen the number vary from 7 to 15.

                                I don't know about that one. I think people get confused of what an alcoholic is. It is not just someone that get drunk it is someone that can't stop when ever they want. Meaning it is addiction. That is why they believe it more an alcoholic gene in you. That is why you can't stop. The good news is you can be an alcoholic and not be a drunk. I have seen some family members like that. I have a uncle who can not stop even for one night not having a drink. He only has one, but he can't stop he even said he can't. Even if you put a gun to his head. That to me tell me he has some alcoholic gene in him
