If you drink to get away from stress are you an alcoholic?!


Question:

If you drink to get away from stress are you an alcoholic?

I drink maybe once a month. MAYBE. But it is usually when I want to get away from stress that I cannot stop thinking about. If I drink 3 glasses of wine, I stop obsessing.

DO I have a problem?


Answers:
im not sure, i do this sometimes too, but i feel no addiction. i feel like doing it now, only because im a really stressed out

but overall, i dont think that you have a problem

Drinking once a month is not a problem in and of itself. However, your reasons for drinking could be, atleast in the future. If the stress ever begins to multiply and you find yourself drinking more and more, then you will have a problem. I'd keep a close eye on it.

Nah you are just a typical drunk.one excuse is just as good as another to get sh-t faced.

No, It doesn't sound like a problem. People do lots of things for stress and drinking is one of them.

no i do the same thing

no

No, if you stop at one or two. If you continue to drink til your drunk or drink everyday, or can't make it through a day without having a drink then you may have a problem.

An alcoholic physically needs a drink everyday or they get the shakes.So you are ok.

The definition of an alcoholic is someone who drinks enough/often enough that it interferes with other areas of his/her life. So, no.

But if you arent happy with what your doing, try something else- walking, taking a bath, boxing class etc or mix one of these with just onne glass of wine (maybe not the boxing...)

Depends how much you feel you need it and how often you are doing it. Try something else like exercising. Beware of drinks. It's a trap the you can easily fall into without even noticing it.

No, I dont think you have a problem
(If you do, then I do too)
Walking is good too, helps clear your head

I drink everyday to forget anything and everything. I have people who love me immensely. Do I have problem? I admire your discipline.

If you drink 3 glasses of wine once a month I can't see any problem regardless of the reason you drink it.
