    Someone who cannot do anything or go anywhere without drinking. People that need to drink when they get up in the morning.

    Although I do know people who I consider to be alcoholics that are very successful at their jobs during the day, and then as soon as they leave they start drinking everything goes to shit and their personal life and their family is falling apart. They manage to keep it together so they can keep their job but they are past caring about the rest.

    When you have a physical or psychological need for alcohol as a drug rather than a beverage.

    You can't have just one/two drinks....it's all or nothing..

    When it effects your health and/or you alter life plans because of alcohol.. nothing wrong with a few drinks after dinner or before bed.

    I have a step uncle who's an alcoholic.. He used to put vodka in his cereal before work. :eek:

    A person who drinks too much but lives in denial.

    Now a person who freely admits they drink too much is just a fun person to go out to the bar with. ;)

    Some of your posts here are the extreme. Take me for example. I always have a drink with dinner usually two everyday. Either wine or beer. By the text book I would be one. Maybe so but thats what I do. I love a drink after work or while I am making dinner. I don't crave it in the afternoon or morning. I don't need more, unless its the weekend ;)
