When would you consider a person an alcoholic?

[MetalMat]

How much would a person have to drink per week to be considered an alcoholic in your opinion?

I don't think it how much they drink per week - it's how much/often they drink out of moderation.

You are an alcoholic when you have to drink to fell normal.

I have a GREAT deal of experience in this field actually.

I don't consider a person an alcoholic until they consider themselves an alcoholic.
Though perhaps we differ in the fineness of our definitions.

An alkie is a person who has admitted they have a problem. A drunk is an alkie who doesn't know it yet.

I know a few drunks. Not much you can do for them really 'cept try to stay the fvck out of the way.

I once was talking to a friend... when she just fell over out of the blue. It was kind of abnormal.

If the question comes up, I would say its possible.

I consider someone an alcholic when they start arguing with the toilet for not eating all its vegetables....

My friends and I have this saying " an alcoholic drinks to get through the day, and an enthusiast gets through the day to drink"

Well I've noticed one thing that, while it may not apply to all alcoholics, only alcoholics do: they can drink 300 beers in one sitting, but they start talking all fvcked up after only 2. Can someone explain why this is?

 

[QuitBanningMe]

I don't think it a "drinks per week" thing. I also don't think it is based on the amount (moderation). If you miss it when you don't have it you are an alcoholic whether you drink a case a day or two martinis every Tuesday.

As long as you don't share the pic! 😉

The best part was that we were standing on the corner of a street waiting to cross. There were tons of people standing and laughing at her make a fool out of herself.

If you drink an entire bottle of Jack Daniels a day, you are an alcoholic.

No. I can (and have) do that for several days (months) and if I didn't have a bottle of Jack it wouldn't bother me at all.

Denial is the first stage of addiction.

I didnt mention how big the bottle was, and the number of hours before it was consumed.

Really? I go months/ years without drinking. I have no dependency. That is my whole point. It isn't how much but your need.
