    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.


    this was my grandfather, alcoholic, he kept his business life together-successful lawyer and everyone in town thought he was a great guy but things at home were a whole other situation..............

    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 ;)

    Honestly, I think that if you wake up thinking about your next drink, you may be an alcoholic. That's my best definition.
    I drink anywhere from 4-7 days a week and I average 1-4 drinks on those days. I don't think this makes me an alcoholic. I work in the restaurant business and we always have a glass of wine (or two or three) after work and wind down.
    However, alcohol is good for you! As long as you are not someone that may become addicted, drink up!
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    My dad defines an alcoholic as "A man who would drink Guinness out of a pig's arse, if he had to."




    I think this may be the correct answer. :D
