I'm drinking a black russian at 4:28 in afternoon, am I an alcoholic?

I just like the taste but a beer sounds more reasonable and makes me less of an acloholic, any thoughts?

uh, no. An alcoholic is someone who allows alcohol to control their lives, affect their relationships and makes promises he has no intention of keeping regarding drinking and loved ones. REgardless of WHAT you drink and WHEN you drink it, those factors mean more. So, do you disappoint your loved ones or lose their respect due to alcohol? If yes....you are likely an alcoholic. No.....you are either kidding yourself or you are genuinely just someone who wanted to have a plain old drink.
