This is how the American Medical Association defines alcoholism: "a primary, chronic disease
characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and
distortions in thinking".
We all know that a glass of wine/day is good for our health, so what matters 2 glasses+ ?
You're not an alcoholic, as long as you ask yourself these questions. Alcoholism also comes with denial - most of them will say after drinking "Me? Drunk? No way, I didn't drink at all!"
When you will be drunk in a reasonable % of a 24hours day, then you will be one; when the alcohol will start affecting you brain & thinking. Have you all had to deal with an alcoholic and study his/her behavior? The alcoholics are lost, they are living in their own world.
If drinking 2 beers or having 3 glasses of wine each day makes you feel 'better', then just live & enjoy your life. So no worries, pythonx! Enjoy your wine and have a good sleep
!
And a note: I'm not telling all this in my defense or something like that, as I don't drink, only during the weekends & @ parties - a beer/maybe two.
