I don’t drink gin but 200 mL of 80 proof vodka does nothing to me.
So if you are only drinking that much 3 times a week then no you are not in my opinion.
Do you remember a novel from about 30 years ago called "My name is Davy, I'm an alcoholic"?
That much gin would be 3 to 4 drinks, that isn't really a lot 3 times a week. But that really doesn't matter, what matters is if you are compelled to drink and are unable to stop drinking. That is what would make you an alcoholic.
What kind of gin? Bathtub gin will require a liver transplant after you go blind. A good quality gin like Blue Sapphire and you’ll run out of money before you become an alcoholic.
You're an alcoholic in the making for sure. I would quit before you depend on it.
It doesn't sound like a lot but can you skip a night? Was there a time when you drank less? If you can't skip a night and you are drinking more than you used to then you are sliding down the slippery slope. Stop now before alcohol takes over your life. Been there done that. Try Alcoholics Anonymous. It's way better to be at a meeting than sitting at home drinking. Trust me on this one.
Not all that much. And only 3 times a week. You should be fine. Just don't drive after drinking as that would blow you over the limit for sure. 200 ml is just over 6 oz. About 4 drinks. As long as its not every night, that shouldn't affect your health too much.
Are you unhappy about it? If so try to cut down and maybe get some help. You can be a functional alcoholic you know.
Even if you doubled that and drank every night, it's not alcoholism. People have a lot of misconceptions about alcoholism.
I'm a pretty heavy drinker myself, 6 cans of cider daily. And it's annoying to me how everyone calls people alcoholics when they're not, but if you're really doing this man then yes this is up there with alcoholic levels. Respect but at the same time this is fucked man.
