I knew a of man that had One stiff drink every night at 7PM. After 30 years of doing that, when he was in the hospital for an operation, he started having signs of DTs/withdrawal. He was addicted to his habit of one stiff drink.

I know a man that can go months with no alcohol but if he has one beer, it can lead to two and once he has had two..he won't stop til the night is over or the beer is gone (that would be me) I would classify myself as an alcoholic because once alcohol is added to my system..I don't have any control to stop at just two beers for the night. I was never addicted to alcohol, I just couldn't control it once it was added to my system.

The best test I know... Do you control alcohol or does alcohol control you?
Middle of the night beer runs...Well I would say that alcohol was controling me.
