I so agree. From what you say in your original post here, I don't think you're an alcoholic. You may not even be a hard drinker. You may be very lucky.

I wish I could drink 6 beers and think that's enough and stop. I don't think I know any alky's who can pull that off... ever, much less many times.

If it progresses, you will know.

Here's my definition of an alcoholic... as I recall it from the A.A. book;

1) Can't control the amount once you start,
and
2) Can't stay away from the 1st drink on your own when you honestly want/need to.

Have a good life.
