is there an addiction if she doesnt drink every day, but close to unconsiousness like twice a week, aka, whenever she gets ahold of alc and has enough time?
is half a liter wodka within 5hours reason for concern?
were talking about a 120lbs woman,in this case.
when they say its just to get more relaxed, but every time, they go full out and seemingly cant wait for more, the more drunk they are?
also, if they actually continue drinking some minutes just after they vomited?
There are different ways in which alcoholism manifests. Some alcoholics drink everyday all the time and then there are "binge" drinkers who generally get very drunk when they drink, although they may remain relatively sober between binges.
For example, my mother was mostly a binge drinker. She could go about a month between binges on average. When she was not binging, she could even manage very moderate social drinking. When whatever it was that tipped the scale and made her want to tie one on, she'd drink until she was completely out of it drunk. Her binges only lasted one evening. She rarely drank at home. The next morning she'd be so hung over she was sick as a dog. Her binge drink of choice was screwdrivers. When I was a teenager and old enough to drive I'd go out with her so I could drive her home. She'd consume so much alcohol it was amazing she didn't kill herself.
Drinking releases our inhibitions. My mom would turn into a monster when she was loaded. She was an entirely different person when she was sober. I am no expert, but I would say this is a pretty good sign a person is deeply troubled and needs help.
