Thanks for sharing your story. Everyones ideas of what constitutes a alcoholic is different. There are some interesting health surveys for determining if someone has a drink problem, they are interesting to look at and help give a distinction between "Normal" Drinking and "Problem drinking"
For me, I could never enjoy a "Normal" type of drinking scenario.
I could not ever just have 1 drink a hour with 3 drinks max over a night.
It just would be a waste in my eye. I drank to get F@#@$ up! Not to have one stinking glass of wine!
That my friend is a drinking problem according to most health surveys.
Check out the survey if you are interested
