Well, since alcohol is progressive and goes from early stage to late stage, it would be hard to have a single definition I think. And since it's a mind-altering drug, I would think addicts would want to stay away from it, just like alcoholics wouldn't want to take up doing benzos.....
The tendency to drink "until it's gone" is something I think most alcoholics can certainly relate to.
"tee many martooni's"
oh man, I think I had my very worst drunk on those......
