I basically drink 6-10 beers every night. But even when I take like 3-4 days without drinking, I don't really feel cravings. I never feel the absolute need to drink beer, I just really enjoy doing it.
I pretty much never drink hard liquor. It just doesn't sit well with me. For example, I had one shot of tequila Friday night and felt hungover all day Saturday. I never feel hungover when I just drink beer.
I bring this question up because today a coworker said I might be an alcoholic when she learned about my enjoyment of drinking beers. I said no way, I never really crave the stuff. I'm just an advocate of drinking tasty carbonated beverages.
So can someone be an alcoholic if they don't drink the hard stuff?
You don't sound like an alcoholic to me. Although I must admit that I might be responding to myself here. I used to drunkenly post under different names a couple of years back and I have consumed a lot of beer since 2012. It's all a little hazy.
