Alcoholism takes many forms!. "Binge drinkers" who drink to excess are having trouble controlling their drinking!. Other people are "closet drinkers" or "maintenance drinkers" who never seem drunk at all but are drinking constantly!. Either way, it is alcoholism!. Many people are in denial about it as well saying "Hey's it's only beer, you can't be an alcoholic drinking beer!." Yeah, right!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, if it's just every friday night!.!. She could be classified as an alcoholic -- but -- I'M an alcoholic!.

At my worst I was drinking 1/2 bottle (1/2 a liter) of vodka every single day!. When I quit, I went through horrible withdrawal!. My life had completely fallen apart!.

Usually they ask you the CAGE questionaire!.

Have you ever thought about Cutting down your drinking!?
Are you Annoyed by people who complain about your drinking!?
Do you feel Guilty about your drinking!?
Do you need an Eye-opener when you wake up!?

I'd ask that girl those questions before jumping to any conclusions!.

I think getting drunk every Friday is a bit excessive, but it could be due to peer pressure or just a short-term phase!. And to what extent do you determine to be "drunk" !? Falling down drunk, buzzed, passing out, blacking out!?

And how is this affecting her life in general!? Is she driving drunk, is she getting into fights, is she getting drunk alone!? Does she think anything else is fun, or is this Friday event the only fun thing she thinks she does!?

There are many facets to alcoholism!.!. You'd have to describe in much more detail her behavior, lifestyle, friends, etc!. in order to determine whether or not she's abusing alcohol or is indeed an alcoholic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If she has a family history of alcoholism, has been drinking for several months, craves it , she could very well be what is classified as a "weekend alcoholic"!. If you are worried about it and it is you that is drinking then try to cut down for a few weekends to see how your body responds!. Goodluck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's possible she is a functional alcoholic!.

if she can't go a weekend with out getting drunk the odds go up!.

if the amount of alcohol she consumes to get drunk is to the point she passes out regularly, she might be risking alcohol poisoning; and the odds go up!.

if she doesn't remember what she did at the party because of how drunk she got, the odds go up

if all she talks about is when she can get drunk again or how great it was, the odds go up!.

if she started drinking as a minor, the odds go up!.
