I drink everyday sometimes a fifth some days a pint and sometimes 1 beer...?

I don't have any problems with it like I never miss work or get in fights with my family, leagal problems ect. Do you think this means I'm an alcoholic?
Answer:
Trouble is, you may not think that you are an alchohlic, but there are other parts to the fallout:1. Is your family 'suffering' because you are spending ten to fifteen dollars a day on drink?
2. Is your output at work LESS than the best because you feel somewhat hungover?
3. Can you honestly say that you NEVER drive even under the teeniest bit of drunkenness?
4. Is there ANYone who says "I wish you did not drink so much"?
5. Even if your liver is whole and hearty NOW, in time that much alcohol in your system compromises your liver functionSo you see, Ron, this is not a problem in isolation. There is a lot more to this than just you yourself and you. You live with and around others, and recreational drinking is fine. Everyday drinking is probably NOT fine.Ask your relatives "Do I drink too much?" If they say YES, then go and get help and the best place is AA.
oh my, u must be very sickly! lol
Not now, noBut if it gets worse, like more drink everyday, it's harder to say
You're an alcoholic when you start to feel that you NEED to drink every day, basically
At the moment it sounds like you just do it for recreation, so nah that's ok
If you drink everyday then you are an alcoholic if you can stop then your probably not but the more you drink the worse off you will be and it may lead to bad things even if it's not now.
They say an alcoholic is someone who has to have a drink every day, irrelevant of how many, do you have to drink every day?
the term is functional alcoholic..there are a lot of these throughout history and even today.
being a little bit alcoholic is like being a little bit pregnant..
sooner or later one of three things will happen
death, insanity, or you will become a recovering alcoholic
Sounds like it to me.
Hey man, I drink everyday, sometimes a fifth if I'm not working, if I am, at night I drink a pint...kinda like you. Here's the deal, I'm in college, I have a right to get this out of my system at this point in my life, and I am way to stressed not to. I'm a Nextel technician, and I hate my coworkers and boss who constantly ride my *** for no reason. I could sue for harrassment, but I'm not out for money, I just want them to leave me alone while I'm doing my job. Thank God I'm heading back to school in a month, and I'll done with my degree very soon, which means, I get to quit my job and yell at them all for being horrible human beings, and I plan on being buzzed when I'm doing it so I have no filter on my mind or mouth. I've never fought with my family, the law or anyone else. Hey, we could be drug addicts! Right? If you're going to be an addict to anything, alcoholism is way more respectable than heroin! The funniest part is that you don't understand anyone elses problems...my boss is a dope nose, so I'm sitting just dandy!
Most definately.
Read and heed Pablo--he's got the scoop.
Well here's the thing.. I don't think your an alcoholic...if you drink more than 6 cans a day then maybe..even that is to much for me but I don't drink at all. The thing is that even doctors say that a beer, a shot, a glass of wine is GREAT for your health...the key word being A. One beer is healthy, one shot is healthy, one glass is healthy and NOOO I don't mean one of each lol. Everything in moderation and it's true not only for drunk purposes but healthy purposes. Like food a burger won't do you wrong but 1-3 a day or 2-4 a week thats like heart attack waiting to happen. Believe me ...this will COME BACK to HAUNT you when you get OLDER. So be healthy...drink water instead, cool aid, juice and only drink when celebrating or you get a craving. You know I said I don't drink ..well lol...one day I was feeling sick and my grandma, aunt and mom told me to drink a corona (i think) and I did and I felt so much better. I hated the taste and didn't finish it but I swear by that corona cause damn I went from feeling like hell to feeling fine. So there you go... :)
Having a drink a day doesn't make someone an alcoholic, it can actually be a benefit per doctors' reccomendation. But if you can down a fifth by yourself in one day, you are killing your liver and are an alcoholic. Why do you need so much? That's like having 20 beers in one day. You may not have problems now, but just wait till you drink a fifth, are blacked out, and decide to go for a drive. When you kill someone, you might see the truth.
yes even though you odly haven't gotten into trouble. you are , and you think your not hurtign anyone , but you really are hurting yourself and god.You could get cancer , and many other disease's from drinking like that. I had a boyfriend once that sounds a lot like you accept we did get into fights because of it.
I think you should get some help. If you need it everyday, you're on your way to letting your alcohol intake control you, instead of you controlling your alcohol intake.
