Alcoholism is a physical and mental dependency on the drug alcohol. Alcoholics cannot not drink. If you think you may be or are becoming an alcoholic, then read the stickies as Least suggested. But you gotta be honest in your answers now. It seems that once you start drinking, then you can't stop. This indicates a powerlessness over alcohol. Cravings aren't good, either. Remember one important thing about this disease. It's progressive. It will take more and more of your favorite wine to attain the same buzz as time goes on. Oh, and it'll kill you eventually. I suggest you quit drinking, at least for a year. See how this goes, how difficult it was, were you actually able to do it. Then you'll have an answer to your question.
