Well, if you're truly an alcoholic, cutting down will be impossible. You may just still be a hard drinker. But if you've totaled your car, and flunked out of college, you're probably an alcoholic. But really, only you can say for certain if you're an alcoholic. It's got to be a conclusion you have to come to.
Here's a good way to determine if you're an alcoholic or not: Go to a bar, and try some controlled drinking. Set a limit for yourself (say six drinks) and stop abruptly. If you can, try it again, and again, and again. If you can control your drinking, you're not an alcoholic in my eyes.
Take my dad for instance: He's a daily drinker.Yet I've never seen him fall-down drunk, throwing up or anything like that. While me on the other hand: I'll have six drinks and not be able to get out of bed the next day.
I guess what matters most is how alcohol affects you.
