Most normies are problem drinkers if you break it down. The only people that wouldn't be are those that drink a glass of wine strictly for the health benefits.
Everyone else drinks to change their mood, alcoholic or not.
Since I quit drinking, I have come to pretty much feel this way as well about people who drink. Consuming intoxicating poisonous beverages is simply not normal, period... and anyone who thinks so might be fooling themselves a little, or a lot. I drank way too much and needed to stop so glad I did and did not wrestle with the question of whether I was an alcoholic or not, that is a trap I see too many people fall into. There are so many good reasons to stop drinking (alcoholic or not) yet I cannot think of a single good reason (apart from that one glass of red wine for health benefits) to keep on drinking, especially the way I was doing it. I think you just kinda answered your own question and you know what the answer is. Quit drinking...
