I'm I an alcoholic?

Why don't you try and give it up for a month. See how you feel or if you have a big urge. It should be an urge I would consider "uncontrollable". You will either forget about it and just deal with life, or it will really consume your thoughts and you will really want a beer ASAP. Try this for a month, seriously.

You should know in about a week. If you are freaking out about not having a beer you are an alcholic and you need to get some help. The only thing that leads me to believe you aren't is you don't drink that much. Typically an alcoholic will get drunk on a regular basis. I don't see someone getting drunk off 3 beers. Unless you are a chick of course.

I find this funny; I drink about 40 beers a week and I don't worry about it. I'm sure I'm an alcoholic. I've been sure since I first worried about it. Maybe you should stop worrying or quit. You are either an alcoholic or a recovering alcoholic.

You aren't drinking that much and it doesn't seem as if it's causing any problems for you other than the fact that yoiu worry about it. I think you're responding more to your family history than to an actual problem.

The way to tell if your an alcoholic or not is not by the amount you drink, but by the fact that you cant live without alcohol.

Give alcohol up for a week...if you can do it, your not. If you don't make it the full week, you are.

BTW, you know what the difference between an alcoholic and a drunk are??????

Alcoholics go to meetings.

Rehab's for quitters.

i prefer the term 'drunk' instead of an alchoholic
