I don't sleep better or worse after it, and I don't feel like I can't get through the evening without it - I just like trying different wines, just like I like trying different teas. I do it in the evening because I don't have to drive anywhere or do anything.
There's a distinct line between an addiction and enjoying something. If I had that one glass and next thing I knew the bottle was empty every time, then I'd maybe consider it a problem because it would be clear that once I start I can't stop . Brings up an interesting subject though - where do you draw the line between want and need with booze? My opinion is that the line when you stop drinking for taste and start drinking for effect.

pretty sure that was a joke
And for me, it was the fact that I had no off button. If I'm having one pint, I'm carrying on until I physically can't have any more. Couple that fact in with the fact I loved drinking, which meant I did it every day for the nice buzz after 4 - 6, and it was a recipe for disaster - each and every time, I was sure that I'd just have 8 pints at most, and could never figure out why I never stopped at that amount, even though I truly meant it when I told myself that'd be the case that day.
Goes a bit more in-depth than that, but that's it in basic form
