i say about 13 a day


Answers:
I'd say that it's not a question of a specific number. Whenever any substance is necessary for you to feel all right during the day, you have a problem with it--there's a difference between enjoying a glass of wine with dinner and needing five glasses just to feel all right. If you're constantly wanting for liquor to fix your problems to the point where it causes more problems in your home or family life, then you're an alcoholic.

However, I've read that you're considered an alcoholic if you drink more than five alcoholic beverages a day, and/or get plastered-drunk more than twice a week.

Hope this helps.

I dont think its the amount by itself that makes you an alcoholic, but when you drink, why you drink, and whether you depend on it to get you through the day.

13 a day would be an alcoholic! lol Once you drink more than two a day you begin to put your body at risk for the damages associated with alcoholism. But, I think you are an alcoholic when drinking becomes a lifestyle, and it changes your normal day routine. Such as not wanting to go to restaurants that don't serve alcohol or not being able to go out and have fun without it.

Not the amount you drink, but how often you drink. If you have to drink to start the day or get thru the day, that would be a alcoholic.

I drink on average a case a day, I consider myself a drunk!!!! Alcoholics go to meetings.

Heck, I drink 13 in an afternoon....is that bad?

If you drink only an alcoholic beverage or two everyday, then you have alcoholism.

It's not how much you drink, its the fact that you find yourself drinking everyday.

13 a day = fat, beergut loser by the time you are 30. Not to mention Alcoholic.

Quantity is not the only sign. Even if you have one drink at a certain time of day, and can't get passed that time of day without it could mean you are.
Another way is no matter how much, or how little, you buy, you have to finish it all before going to bed.
And yet another way is that you can't leave half a drink, that you must finish it.
These are all signs you may have a problem.

When you you have to have a certain amount everyday to be content.

nah mate 13 is only just over half way..my theory there is 24 cans of beer in a case 24 hours in a day...coincident i think not..so when your drinkin more then that you can loudly and proudly call your self and alcho!!!

there is no set amount. the only way you will know is the morning you wake up shaking. and the only way to stop it is to drink more alcohol. dont go there its hell on earth.
