At what point do you become an alcoholic?!


Question: What exactly defines you as being "Alcoholic"?


Answers: What exactly defines you as being "Alcoholic"?

- when alcohol runs your life. when you can's remember why you're on the floor when you fell asleep on the couch. when you have a secret stash hidden away so when your well intended relatives come by to confront you and take away the "out in the open " stuff, you have a batch to rely on.
- it's when you wake up in the morning and have a drink to get things going and to smooth over last nights headache. it's when your logic is geared to make your consumption seem normal and justified and arguing about with some body is sober is a self defeating prophecy.
- it's when the doctor tells you your liver is permanently damaged.
- it's a slow and steady decline for some people, for others a matter of years.
