Answers:
use an academic source instead of asking a bunch of people in a forum who have no lives. you will get a better grade.
Probably a six pack of beer and a half a bottle.
I think it has to do with quantity, but also, how often they drink, do they drink alone, will they do it even at work. I know it probably varies for each individual. Maybe go to an AA site and read some of their confessions or their blogs. If they have that sort on their website. Good luck.
OK, this is going to sound weird. But when I was forced to go to an assessment, they told me that you could be considered an alcoholic if you only drank once a year, on the same date to get drunk.
This is a tricky question because it depends on the abuse of alcohol and it is also considered a hereditary disease.
Born into an alcoholic environment could possibly result in the same result.
Also, those that don't have a quitting limit are considered alcoholics especially if this act is frequented daily or several times a week.
If alcohol results in loss of job function, concentration, judgement and/or affects the emotions of others, then there is an alcoholic problem.
It may not just be the number of drinks, but how many affect you and others without a stopping point.
I drink 3-4 during some of my evenings after work within a 5-7 hour period and if I start getting tired, I switch to coffee or go to bed. I do this because I am home, it's less expensive and it's a leisure I share with a friend.
That question cannot be answered the way you have presented because it seems too narrow of a perception of an alcoholic.
There are many reasons and forms of alcoholism.
There is no limit to the amount of alcohol that an alcoholic would drink in one day. It has nothing to do with the amount its more the time spent on thinking of that next drink...
1/2 gallon vodka
Yes, I think calling the question stupid is the right answer.
In the first place, there are nearly 2 million people who stand up in a twelve-steppers' meeting regularly and say "Hi, my name is _____ and I'm an alcoholic" and those people generally average zero alcohol per day. Does the assignment factor in their consumption?
Some alcoholics don't drink daily, but they binge--one drink sets them off on a quest to suck every bottle dry until they keel over. How much they drink depends on their body weight and metabolism (if they weigh 400 pounds and burn it off quick, they can drink a lot more than a 120 pound senior citizen).
Then there are the alcoholics who drink just enough to keep a buzz on all day, every day.
And then there are the ones who get toxic at the cell level, who start the day with a six-pack of tall boys and then go through a couple of fifths of vodka before Oprah.
An "average" of that range of data fails to offer any meaningful statistical analysis. It's like asking someone to average the number of people who died and who didn't today to describe your own odds of dying tomorrow.
it depends, according doctors your an alchoolic when you drink more then 3 drinks a day or more then 20 drinks a week, a real alchoholic could drink way more then that, like 20 drinks a day (or even more)
Depending on the weight, size and tolerance of the individual, from one drink, to a case, a bottle or more.
