Does drinking alcohol every single night, whether at home or in a bar, mean you are an alcoholic? Or is that more of a drinking habit? Assume the person does not drink to get drunk...

It depends on where you are. Its always a good idea to come to Ireland if you think your drinking too much coz yoru not even close.
-
It depends on how much you drink everyday and if you go a day without drinking.. not going into withdrawal
-
Well no not really. I started by doing this all the time but then i drank more and heavier quantities each time as my alcohol tollerance went up and eventually i got dependent. So the person just needs to watch because even if they are not getting drunk, they can still drink quite a lot.

i think its more of a habbit, that can lead on to alcoholism.
-
yeah you're a drunk. (only kidding)

Generally if it doesn't cause any problems in your life, then there is no problem. It is when it causes problems or gets in the way of things, such as, "i really have so much to do, but i think i'll just go out drinking instead" when this stuff starts happening, its a problem. However it is addictive and anyone that drinks daily, needs to be aware of their increasing consumption. Just cause you don't 'feel' drunk, doesn't mean your not legally drunk.

Alcoholic with tolerance... yeah I think it would fit in the catergory.
-
Probably not. And there is a difference between an addict, which is an alcoholic, and an abuser, which is someone who does it too much but can just as easily do without.
-
drinking every day can be that you are alcohol dependant. it is good to have an awareness. xx

I started out on burgundy but soon I hit the harder stuff...Bob Dylan. Some people stay normal drinkers their whole lives while others start out as normal drinkers and too, late, they find out it's not so normal after all. A habit of drinking is no longer something you control. Be careful.
