This made me realise how dependant I am on it. I crave a drink on my return from work every evening. I even want a drink when I am ill. I drink to celebrate and sypathise. I drink to drown my sorrows and to count my blessings. I drink to cure a hangover. I reward myself with drink. I drink because life is too short. I drink because I am happy and because I am sad. I drink. You get the idea!!
I'm just curious, do you want to quit drinking or are you just trying to put together a working definition of an alcoholic?
Personally, I've never seen a definition save someone's liver or life.
All the best.
