But it's also about the amount you consume at one time and the way you control yourself...from your statements here, I'm sorry but clinically youre an alcoholic
you have no idea what you're talking about, frankly. clinically, "alcoholism" is a meaningless phrase. you can say someone has alcohol dependence or abuse.
let's consult a dsm-iv for a diagnosis for dependence:
maladaptive pattern of substance abuse leading to clinically significant impairment or distress as manifested by 3 or more of the following within a 12 month period:
1) tolerance, as defined by either (a) need for markedly increased amounts to achieve the desired effect or (b) markedly diminished effect using the same amount
2)withdrawal, as manifested by either (a) the characteristic withdrawal syndrome for the substance or (b) the same or similar substance is taken to avoid withdrawal
3)substance is taken in larger amounts or longer times than intended
4)there is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down use
5)great deal of time spent on activities necessary to obtain, use, or recover from effects of substance
6)important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced du to substance use
7)substance use is continued despite knowledge of having persistent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or made worse by the substance
if you meet 3 or more of these criteria in the last 12 months, you have a substance dependence problem, clinically.
now abuse:
a maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to impairment or distress as manifested by one or more within the last 12 months
1) recurrent substance use resulting in failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home
2) recurrent substance use in situations where it is physically hazardous
3) recrrent substance related legal problems
4) continued substance use despite having persistent social or interpersonal problems caused or made worse by the substance.
