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!



Needing a beer every night is called a Maintenance Alcoholic, they might never, or rarely get blitzed drunk, but they need daily intake of alcohol.

And most of them will never admit that this kind of drinking affects their lifestyle, or those around them.

so you never get buzzed or drunk, but because you drink a beer a night, you're an alcoholic. and that somehow affects the people around you.

Having a beer every night is like watching a TV show or using the computer every night. It is a minor habit that doesn't hurt anyone.

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.



Agree to disagree? But I agree that it's their right if they want to drink. Just don't expect a hot chick to jump on your lap or anything.

It makes you a shell and you resent everyone around you.


What are you, an idiot?

a beer a night has even been stated to be good for you by the medical profession.

I think it does affect their lifestyle AND those around them, but that's my 2 cents. What can you do when you're drunk? Just sit around the house or hope someone picks up your drunk ass.

It must be the beer killing all my brain cells

I hear listening to Korn has the same effect though.

I knew when I was posting this I would get a lot of hate from ACF, so, I'm not surprised. And I'm not upset, either, if that's what you were hoping for.
