          A functioning alcoholic can have as little as 1/day - but they HAVE to have it.

            I have always considered it being when you have problems (social, economic, health) caused by booze and still drink.

              Poll fail - you should speak about number of days in a week/month that you drink in order to be called alcoholic.

                  I personally find the scale of the poll just fine.

                      I would guess you are an addict when you have trouble stopping or experience withdrawal symptoms when you do stop.

                          If you start the poll with the lowest option at 5/day you're probably an alcoholic.

                              You can't be serious... ??

                              Poll is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to the question. Completely.
                              Ok I drank 15 drinks yesterday, am I alcoholic? How can you tell if you do not know how often I drink? Maybe it was my one day in every 60 days when I drink.

                              That is the scale that was supposed to be in the poll:

                                When it has a negative affect on your life.

                                What's a handle?

                                  When you need an "eye opener" to start your day, you're pretty much there.

                                        um, you're reading it wrong. Per day MEANS every single day. Just like per week means every single week, or per month means every single month.

                                            It's more about the level of need coupled with the inability to control one's urges that determines whether one is an alky. I don't think there's a set line of # of drinks per day that determines it for all, different people have different tolerances.

                                            But I suppose it's a pretty safe bet that someone pouring 20 per day has a problem, especially if they can't or just plain aren't willing to cut back or stop.

                                            Me, I rarely drink when I "need" a drink. I prefer it when I want one (or three).

                                                  Number of drinks is irrelevant, it is all about control.

                                                      Probably if you drink by yourself, often, you are addicted to booze. Same as all drugs.

                                                          I think an addiction would be when something gets in your way of your normal life. For exaple If you find up you are missing appointments due to drinking.

                                                          not how many drinks u have in a day lol. people can handle a lot more than others. what about men vs women?

                                                            I can drink a beer everyday but I don't have to drink a beer every day. A 12 pack lasts me about 14 days. If I brew my own I get to have a beer at night and relax and if I don't have beer I drink water or coffee.
                                                            Take it or leave it? Not an alcoholic. Gotta have it, regardless of how many? Alcoholic.

                                                                If someone is drinking 5 drinks every single day he is definitely already almost rock bottom absolute alcoholic. You must be retarded to even think that drinking 5 drinks every single day might not count as being alcoholic, let alone rest of the poll options (10, 20 )

If your day is spent counting down the minutes before you can have that beer, then you might have a problem; so start early.

If your day is spent counting down the minutes before you can have that beer, then you might have a problem; so start early.

Some of us are born naturals and others were made to drink coffee for breakfast. As long as we're healthy and happy, cheers to that!!

                                                                                  I drink every day, but its only about 1/3 pint of proper cider with meals.
                                                                                  that doesn't make me an alcoholic. If it does then the whole of Asturias is.

No normal person would do that, its almost rock bottom alcoholic (rock bottom being drinking every day and getting drunk)

No normal person would do that, its almost rock bottom alcoholic (rock bottom being drinking every day and getting drunk)

That or perhaps a more loose definition - if you drink to get drunk in nearly every social situation, i.e. in order to enjoy yourself you have to be drunk.

                                                                                                  I realize that more extreme alcoholism is drinking ALONE all the time, and obviously functional alcoholics might drink several drinks a day and never be drunk, but certainly still have a drinking problem, but I think the fine line between alcoholism and not is more within social situations and drinking irresponsibly on a regular basis.

                                                                                                  Part of the reason I say that was because I would go out drinking with a friend a few times a week, and even though we had used to have fun all the time without any alcohol, it became our thing to down a six pack plus a few mixed drinks every time, which is pretty much what it took us to get drunk. At the time I wouldn't have said I was an alcoholic, but looking back on it, I most certainly was. It wasn't til my friend got a DUI that we both stopped it. Til then, we were each blowing $100+ a week on alcohol, which at the time was a lot of money to me.

                                                                                                  I've been addicted to soda in the past and quit that too, and though that was daily half gallon or more of soda - every single day, I feel it was similar to the alcohol in that it was an expected thing. Nearly every time I went out with my friend over the span of a few years after we turned 21, we drank.
