One shot of whiskey a day doesn't make you an alcoholic. More than that, you start questioning. A pint of whiskey a day is trouble. If you are genetically susceptible, you may not want to start drinking every day. You may not be able to keep it to one shot. Wine, which is my passion by the way, can also be abused. It can be part of your daily life, as part of your meal. If you drink it to get drunk, then it's a problem. Paul 67 Wine http://www.67wine.com

One drink of any kind will not lead to alcoholism unless you have a very susceptible set of genes. Alcoholism is the inability of the body to function without alcohol. Alcoholics shake uncontrollably when they haven't had a drink in a while because they experience withdrawal. For most people, even those who have alcoholics in their family, one drink a day will not be enough to build up the kind of chemical imbalance that would cause alcoholism. You do, however, want to watch how much you drink. Social pressures and stress could cause you to start drinking even more every day, which could lead to alcoholism.

A bad thing obviously, your just causing yourself to want more and more.

could be good could be bad, i for one say go for it because its probably better than a sleep aid, but there is a strong opposition against drinking. I look at it as medicine for alcoholics like us who choose continuance rather than recovery because we don't feel that it is a sickness we see it as a cure

If alcohol runs in the family I would much rather you take a hearty multivitamin. No sense in creating another problem to have to deal with, especially one that is self-induced.
