I like the occasional drink, what amount makes you an "alcoholic"? - GoFuckYourself.com

Spunky · 11-28-2012, 06:34 PM

Instead of milk in the Cheerios,you replace it with vodka

bns666 · 11-28-2012, 06:43 PM

wine is healthy, gin also.

docputer · 11-28-2012, 06:45 PM

If you get up in the morning and have a couple drinks just to get started.

newB · 11-28-2012, 06:48 PM

A functioning alcoholic can have as little as 1/day - but they HAVE to have it.

EddyTheDog · 11-28-2012, 06:54 PM

I have always considered it being when you have problems (social, economic, health) caused by booze and still drink.

mineistaken · 11-28-2012, 06:59 PM

Poll fail - you should speak about number of days in a week/month that you drink in order to be called alcoholic.

I personally find the scale of the poll just fine.

ColBigBalls · 11-28-2012, 07:07 PM

I think an episode of cops. If your on or have been on that show... You know.

TheSquealer · 11-28-2012, 07:15 PM

I would guess you are an addict when you have trouble stopping or experience withdrawal symptoms when you do stop.

woj · 11-28-2012, 07:22 PM

any more than couple of times per week for extended periods of time, and you are on a path to becoming an alcoholic...

potter · 11-28-2012, 07:30 PM

If you start the poll with the lowest option at 5/day you're probably an alcoholic.

Spunky · 11-28-2012, 07:31 PM

You bring a six pack in the shower

Poll is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to the question. Completely.
Ok I drank 15 drinks yesterday, am I alcoholic? How can you tell if you do not know how often I drink? Maybe it was my one day in every 60 days when I drink.

That is the scale that was supposed to be in the poll:

Times per week/month.

um, you're reading it wrong. Per day MEANS every single day. Just like per week means every single week, or per month means every single month.

ManicaMark · 11-29-2012, 05:13 AM

When you puke your guts up, then drink it 'cos you can't find another beer.

CDSmith · 11-29-2012, 05:24 AM

It's more about the level of need coupled with the inability to control one's urges that determines whether one is an alky. I don't think there's a set line of # of drinks per day that determines it for all, different people have different tolerances.

But I suppose it's a pretty safe bet that someone pouring 20 per day has a problem, especially if they can't or just plain aren't willing to cut back or stop.

Me, I rarely drink when I "need" a drink. I prefer it when I want one (or three).

seeandsee · 11-29-2012, 05:25 AM

even 1-2 drinks per day and you are one

Dirty Dane · 11-29-2012, 06:21 AM

Number of drinks is irrelevant, it is all about control.

scottybuzz · 11-29-2012, 11:15 AM

I think an addiction would be when something gets in your way of your normal life. For exaple If you find up you are missing appointments due to drinking.

not how many drinks u have in a day lol. people can handle a lot more than others. what about men vs women?

Tom_PM · 11-29-2012, 11:15 AM

I can drink a beer everyday but I don't have to drink a beer every day. A 12 pack lasts me about 14 days. If I brew my own I get to have a beer at night and relax and if I don't have beer I drink water or coffee.
Take it or leave it? Not an alcoholic. Gotta have it, regardless of how many? Alcoholic.

J. Falcon · 11-29-2012, 11:26 AM

If you drink like Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas, you have a problem.

Then poll is even more retarded than I thought before - if you drink every single day you are, of course, alcoholic, there is no need for poll...
If someone is drinking 5 drinks every single day he is definitely already almost rock bottom absolute alcoholic. You must be retarded to even think that drinking 5 drinks every single day might not count as being alcoholic, let alone rest of the poll options (10, 20

)

I guess it depends on your definition of "drink" - Just because you have a beer a day or a glass of wine a day does not mean you are an alcoholic. If your day is spent counting down the minutes before you can have that beer, then you might have a problem; so start early.

The fact that I can still call that photo breakfast after all these years, and it doesn't negatively affect my life, and YOU know I'm not kidding should show that you can't break the "a" word down to a "volume-vs-weight-vs-hours in the day" formula. Some of us are born naturals and others were made to drink coffee for breakfast.

As long as we're healthy and happy, cheers to that!!

lol most say 5 day that's about one every 5 hour i don't you even get drunk of that. not that all alcoholics are drunk or all drunk people are alcoholics but 5 a day is not much and alcoholics are addicted to alcohol

_Richard_ · 11-29-2012, 03:07 PM

Its not the point of getting drunk, its the point of why would a normal person drink 5 drinks EVERY DAY. No normal person would do that, its almost rock bottom alcoholic (rock bottom being drinking every day and getting drunk)

You don't sound very fun.. did you have a problem with alcohol that you couldn't control?

I drink daily and I'm extremely functional and productive.

So, if you drink at dinner it does not count towards the drinking every day or 5 drinks a day?

PornMD · 11-29-2012, 05:00 PM

Everyone has different definitions of it, but I would say if you drink until drunk multiple times per week every single week, you're probably an alcoholic. That or perhaps a more loose definition - if you drink to get drunk in nearly every social situation, i.e. in order to enjoy yourself you have to be drunk.

I realize that more extreme alcoholism is drinking ALONE all the time, and obviously functional alcoholics might drink several drinks a day and never be drunk, but certainly still have a drinking problem, but I think the fine line between alcoholism and not is more within social situations and drinking irresponsibly on a regular basis.

Part of the reason I say that was because I would go out drinking with a friend a few times a week, and even though we had used to have fun all the time without any alcohol, it became our thing to down a six pack plus a few mixed drinks every time, which is pretty much what it took us to get drunk. At the time I wouldn't have said I was an alcoholic, but looking back on it, I most certainly was. It wasn't til my friend got a DUI that we both stopped it. Til then, we were each blowing $100+ a week on alcohol, which at the time was a lot of money to me.

I've been addicted to soda in the past and quit that too, and though that was daily half gallon or more of soda - every single day, I feel it was similar to the alcohol in that it was an expected thing. Nearly every time I went out with my friend over the span of a few years after we turned 21, we drank.
