Does this make me an alcoholic to you?!

Does this make me an alcoholic to you?

If I drink about five beers and a quarter to a half a bottle of vodka, and a glass of cheap wine every day and still never get wasted, am I an alcoholic?

I am asking for real. If I don't really get drunk, I can't really be an alcoholic... right?

It could just mean that you have developed a high tolerance for alcohol. You can safely say that you're an alcoholic when you feel your drinking has negatively effected your life or if you lack the ability to stop drinking. If you have lost friends, jobs, relationships or money because of excessive drinking, I'd say you have a problem. However, it is possible to be a responsible drinker.

If you are really concerned about this, visit a licensed alcohol treatment facility and ask them to conduct a psychosocial evaluation on you. There are 2 diagnoses concerning alcoholics; Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol Dependent.

Someone suffering from alcohol abuse is someone who drinks irresponsibly. Someone suffering from alcohol dependence has the inability to stop drinking.

I hope this gives you some insight.
