I think labels can get in the way. If you (not replying to any specific person, just in general) are unable to limit yourself to safe amounts of alcohol (1-2 drinks/day MAX), you have a problem because it is unhealthy to consume more than that. Everything else is bullsh!#. Can you imagine a conversation with a pack a day smoker about how they defined their nicotine addiction? No - it's just unhealthy and needs to stop - end of story.
