MabusIncarnate posted...I was drinking daily for nearly a year, and i've recently taking a tremendous cutback and am down to about once or twice every 10 days. I've been drinking for 8 years abusively, and this is the least i've been drinking in that time span and gradually reducing my intake week by week. It's defined differently depending on the source. If you drink more days of the week than you don't, I consider that an alcoholic. If you drink on multiple work nights and weekends, yes. My brother in law was in trouble with the law, and he answered all the answers honestly, and they asked him how often he drank alcohol and he answered with an honest "Maybe once every month or two, or 6-7 times a year" and they made him take 8 weeks of AA. By that definition, I consider very much a casual drinker, not an alcoholic, but they obviously considered that otherwise. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign Twenty million starving and writhing in pain ...
