Ok so, over the past few years I've had quite a few people tell me I'm an alcoholic. But what is alcoholic about having a few beers? I rarely get very intoxicated, but I do like having a beer in my hand. I maybe have 6-8 in a night of drinking but keep in mind. I start just after supper time and maybe have 1-2 or so an hour. I clean my house, I pay my bills, and work my butt off everyday (My dad is my boss) And a relentless boss at that.

But for events like movies, bowling, any random fun thing to do with friends. We have drinks before hand and we pretty much always have a DD or we just walk.

Maybe I am a little bias on my side but I see not a thing wrong with what I am doing.

Is This Normal?

    How do you feel if you don't have a drink? That's a better test of whether you're an alcoholic than how much or how often you drink. The question is whether you like to drink or whether you need to. Personally, I don't think you're an alcoholic. You just like drinking. There's a huge difference.

    As long as you don't feel the NEED to drink, then I don't see anything wrong. Try what dappled suggested and see how that goes. Though, your family and friends may just be worried about your health in general.

    As, I am lead to believe, that an alcoholic is someone who needs to drink in order to function normally and/or to accomplish normal everyday, day to day tasks. If you don't require alcohol to do this, then you are not an alcoholic, but as previous commenters have said, drinking everyday can have serious effects on your health.

    if your friends don't drink as often as you, then to them you may be an alcoholic or somewhat addicted. it just depends on what they're comparing it to.

    well yeah it is normal but the thing is people are probably just worried about you because even if its 1-2 every hour or so they still all add up and can cause liver cancer or something very bad.

    I live in southern US and I can say, it's normal.

    Someone I work with actually does this. He drinks a beer before bed every night. Whenever he's not working he has a beer. He doesn't see himself as an alcoholic because he doesn't get drunk. He's only about 25.
