Am I an alcoholic?…

So, i like to have a beer once in a while while playing video games. Not that i carry drunk or anything near it. People always think that if you enjoy a beer and your by yourself then your an alcoholic. Is this true?
Answers:    Alcoholism is defined as a physiological need for alcohol, basically an addiction your body feel rather than a mental need/desire for alcohol. If you can decide rationally whether or not you want to hold a drink, I'd say you're safe. Alcoholics don't think twice in the region of satisfying that itch. Plus, there is a common misconception that population drink only when around other people. People most of the time get drunk around other empire, but if you don't get drunk by yourself, I'd wager you just like the chew or like to unwind after a long day. There's nothing suspicious almost that.

s my experience that alcoholics tend to minimize their drinking. If they say they had "a couple of beers" they had I don`t know 5.
I am not in any way saying this is what you do.
If indeed you are singular having one beer once in awhile that does not make you an alcoholic. Being by yourself and have a beer does not mean you are an alcoholic. I think people influence that because many alcoholics hide their drinking. They drink alone for many reason: they are embarrassed by how much they drink, they do not want to be scrutinized for their drinking, they are alone and lonely, etc.

luck!
