to consider someone an "alcoholic?"

i think drinking lots of alcohol is an important one!

When the alcohol starts to control the person of which you speak.I know a few guys that tell me they cannot step foot in a bar for just a beer or 2.After that 2nd beer they "need" more!Also have known a few ppl. that will let the booze take them away from spending time w/their family,miss important functions/appointments,etc.When you start to miss out on life & it's commitments just to sit back w/the bottle it's time to get your self some help!

Drinking in the morning. But what if you don't drink at night??? Drinking in the morning is great, you don't have any ill effects to wake up from... I down a fifth by noon and it's all good by evening

Regular binge drinking. I never dring binges so I'm cool

What sculpter said about missing things because you'd rather drink. That being said Ive missed alot of stuff because I had to work out or eat etc.

when you drink alone regularly is another sign

alcoholic is someone who is physically dependent on alcohol

Here are some good warnings you are an alkie

- When you have a flask (beverage of choice inside) with you 24/7-365 days a week.
- When you ride around with an ice cooler in your front seat with the seat belt on it.
- When your name and the phrase "that dude/chick STAYS faded" is used in the same sentence.
- When you have "I'm busy getting my drink on right now, please call back later!" on your vmail.
- When you have a bar at home with ZERO alcohol available.

moving right along

i think you are an alcoholic the moment part of you doesnt want to drink and you continue to drink.

someone on vacation drinking every morning noon and night for 2 weeks may not be an alcoholic cause they dont drink for another 50 weeks

someone who has a glass of wine every second day despite his or her intentions to not drink that often can be

does anyone think keeping a mickey of canadian club under your pillow counts ?

Someone is an alcoholic when they can't get through the day without having a drink.

I'm pretty sure my boss at work is like that - he literally eats nothing all day but goes to the pub religiously to have a few pints - every day without fail.

Not a healthy way to live. $:-\$
