My term of alcoholic: someone that needs a beer every day, and especially after work. Obviously its none of my business, but it feels like everyone is living the dorm-life again. What a shame. I just don't consider drinking a 12-pack as fun or exciting. At a party? Sure.

Well in a society that has lost all spirituality, the next best thing to turn too is alcohol and drugs. I mean, life sucks for the majority of people and numbing yourself with externals is an easy way to deal with problems, at least temporarily.

a couple of beers is different than getting hammered every night

Yeah, life sucks for the majority and it ain't getting better with alcohol - that's my theory on it. What better does alcohol do for you? I haven't seen too many friends turn to drugs, which is mainly because of the costs involved. I noticed with alcoholics, you become a shell of yourself and have a lot of resentment towards people and even friends.

I don't know about that! If you feel like you NEED a beer every night, I think that leans a bit towards alcoholism. A buzz every night? Yeah, definitely!

If it doesn't affect the people around you, family, friends,people in your everyday life, it's not alcoholism.

Wanting a beer after a hard days work, even if it's every day isn't alcoholism, its your right.
