What Is the Real Definition of an Alcoholic?
Question by Becca: What is the real definition of an alcoholic?
Just because I drink now and then, people call me an alcoholic. I thought the definition was someone who can’t give up drinking. I can.
If I can drink, but can stop whenever I want, am I an alcoholic?
If you’re not obssessed with drinking, and could swap it for orange juice when you wanted to, would you call that an alcoholic? Even though you still drink?
