Thought I would just throw the definition out there. I beleive any addict/non-addict would create what their level of moderation is. However, if the drinking gets to a level of creating chaos and destruction and damage to health then it's done in excess which is addiction. Also, if you have to rationalize your drinking...then it's addiction.
