How do you know if you are an alcoholic?!
Its different for everyone where that line is. Maybe you only drink once a year, but you manage to lose your job every time you do. That's a problem. Maybe you have a glass of wine with dinner every day and nothing bad happens. That isn't a problem. More than two drinks everyday is going to effect your health and that's a problem.
Answers: If you have problems because you drink (including future health problems) that means you are a problem drinker.

Your braincells degenerate to the point where Yahoo Answers becomes a place to ask questions like that.
I'm a drunk alcoholics go to meeting's....
i think you should talk to your doctor about it or if you are starting to constantly need alchohal to fix your problems in life
drinking every day!
if you drink daily, drink by yourself, drink coz you have nothing to do.
i work at a bar and i own a good 40 bottles of spirits and liqueurs at home. i mix them with mates at parties and events and its funny that my parents call me an alco. all the recent purchases (in the last 2 weeks) are still unopened. im just waiting for a party to share it round
in my opinion i think you know if you are an alcoholic if you feel like you cant live/survive without alcohol and you depend on it to get you through times in your life.
perhaps try going without it for a bit and see how you feel, if you can manage without it do and perhaps save drinking for special occasions, also going to see a doctor would help as they will be able to advise you and tell you where to go from here.
If you drink when you are happy, drink when you are sad, drink daily. Drink before 5:00 p.m. You miss work frequently because you are hungover. You drink on the job. If it adversely affects the way you function. If your sex life suffers because of your drinking. If you ever feel shaky the morning after a night of drinking, & finally - if you find that it is affecting the way you do your job, your relationships and your personal committments, (any one of these but definitely two) then you are an alcoholic.
