At what point does social drinking turn into alcoholism?!


Question: At what point does social drinking turn into alcoholism!?
I'm wondering if drinking more than 50 units a week means that someone isn't a social drinker and has a problem!. Views tvm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The real test is to stop drinking that much for two weeks to a month!.
Try controlled drinking- 2 drinks a night!. If you can do it for a month you probably aren't an alcoholic- just an excessive drinker!. If you find that its hard or you're unable to only drink that amount- Try a couple of AA meeting and you'll learn the rest of what you need to know!.

PS no-one can tell you you're an alcoholic!. You can only decide that for yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

whenever you lose control of your drinking and start to drink against your will and also whenever drinking is costing you more than just money, also social drinkers dont have to question there drinking habits , if the question arises have i got a drinking problem , then the answer is more than likely yesWww@Answer-Health@Com

If it's 50 units minimum EVERY WEEK!.!.!. then I'd say it's more than social!.

If it's occasional, then it sounds like binge drinking!.

If it's a one-off, I wouldn't worry too much and just never do it again!.

Doctors will know better, though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If its consistently 50 + every week it's there!.

A lot of alcoholics a very social people, when they must have alcohol to get by then it's alcoholic!.
