Honestly,I used to hate it even less than a year ago,I would be strickly againts it,just the thought of it made me mad because my parents and grand parents were former alcoholics (my father still is ) so its in my blood,although for many years I've stayed away from it and was totally against it,now lately I find myself craving it..it all started when I though a few sips of wine would be okay for a special occasion and the wineade me feel good,it felt like excape from something ..now I catch myself just wanting wine or coolers every week..I recently finished a whole bottle of wine in one day, and that's somethong i used to never wanttp do..its so not me.

        Do u smoke marijuana? I used to drink a lot. Far too much. I started smoking cannabis again, and i now dont drink. At alll. I have no desire to. I function perfectly throughout my life. Im not condemned to a couch or anything. For me personally it has been an amazing trade off. Especially in australia, where alcohol is too expensive to afford. And about finishing a whole bottle of wine in a day... Thats about 3-4 beers..? Not too bad at all. Its bad when you will drink a bottle of spirits in a few hours and barely notice, then you have a problem.

    You are becoming an adult. Oh dear.

    A bottle of wine over a day is not that much, believe me. My Italian greatgrandmother who is 105 years old drinks wine on a regular basis and I can ensure you that she is not an alcoholic.

    Reckless drinking involves mixing lots of different alcoholic beverages and ending up being physically sick. Even then, you cannot consider yourself an alcoholic unless you start doing it on a regular basis and become addicted to it.

    You are an alcoholic. Get used to the idea. Go to AA and read all you can about how to stay sober. It's either that or follow your parents and grandparents down a road that it will be almost impossible to have a good life on.

        I agree with the gypsy sailor. I mean no disrespect, but you're showing alcoholic behaviour. I know because I'm married to a 12th step alcoholic. Alcoholism happens. Your past attitude towards alcohol doesn't count towards the present; the next step is to admit to yourself that you're now an alcoholic.

        Please try AA. I can tell you that you'll feel like you don't belong and that you'll claim you're not an alcoholic... but they will teach you to live with the craving without giving in. It's what they do. The craving will never stop.

        You are an alcoholic. It's in your genetic make up. Don't think for an instant that you are not an alcoholic. You are an alcoholic, even if you haven't started to drink heavily yet; you are an alcoholic.

          It doesn't work like that. It has to do with your personal alcohol tolerance level. People with higher alcohol tolerance levels are more prone to being alcoholic but it doesn't mean they will certainly become one. Prone =/= Destined to be.

            jesus, don't any of you people read? Alcoholism is a disease, not a tolerance level thing. It is most often a genetic predisposition, not a matter of quantity. You either have it or you don't and you can never be cured!
            Don't go spewing all that bullshit my way, I've seen way too many lives ruled by booze, including my first wife, her sisters, their parents and grandparents.
            Go to any AA meeting and learn about this drug; it is as deadly and destructive as meth, coke or crack.

              I know how bad it is. My family has its share of alcoholics. I know there are a variety of genetic factors that predisposition one to alcoholics (I only listed one). However, as I said earlier, being predispositioned to being an alcoholic does not automatically make one an alcoholic.
