January 10th, 2010 at 5:00 am
it could so be very careful it can get you we can see from what you hae said and you will not beable to stop so never go more then that. perid. i wouldn’t drink at all if i knew this like you do its not worth being messed up and losing ones family and livly hood eventually.
January 10th, 2010 at 5:14 am
Nope
January 10th, 2010 at 5:55 am
NO
January 10th, 2010 at 6:01 am
No, because you said “sometimes”. If you craved a drink all the time, and indulged all the time, then yes. But since it’s once a week and “sometimes” indulged—nope, you’re just “having a cocktail and kicking back”.
January 10th, 2010 at 6:36 am
Nope. It makes you human. Just don’t go overboard or become dependent on it
January 10th, 2010 at 7:00 am
crave? no it means..that i love u
January 10th, 2010 at 7:20 am
Alcoholics go to meetings. One drink a week isn’t bad.
January 10th, 2010 at 7:25 am
No, you are not an alcoholic.
January 10th, 2010 at 7:40 am
no it doesnt because you dont do it everyday and you dont need to be drunk to function
January 10th, 2010 at 7:59 am
No, just keep it at 1 a week
January 10th, 2010 at 8:37 am
nope. once a week is not bad. i drink more. but i don’t get wasted every minute of my life, no.
no you are not an alcoholic. everyone loves beer.
January 10th, 2010 at 9:13 am
alittle red wine once and a while won’t hurt. that’s what i heard. it could in fact be beneficial to your health. i think once a week isn’t too bad.
January 10th, 2010 at 9:17 am
no an alcoholic usually drinks on a daily basis and can’t function without it.
January 10th, 2010 at 9:54 am
nah unless you can’t function with out it
January 10th, 2010 at 10:32 am
Craving and not being able to go a day without it are two different things….An alcoholic lives for that next drink….dont ever let yourself get to that point…..
January 10th, 2010 at 11:04 am
there was a documentary on tv years ago that gave the definition of an alcoholic as someone who cannot say that they will never have an alcoholic drink again!
guess were all alcoholics then
January 10th, 2010 at 11:16 am
lol no not if you are spending your pay check on it and have no money for rent then no if you are only drinking once a week definetly not
January 10th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
No that makes u human
January 10th, 2010 at 12:50 pm
no
January 10th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Nope, not at all. I drink once a week on the weekends as well. I don’t feel the need to drink on weekdays. Not even 1 glass of wine. We’re what you call social drinkers.
January 10th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
the fact that you will ask that worries me. maube try gong without it for 2 weeks.
January 10th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
does your attitude change when you drink?
do you drink to get drunk?
if you do then you probably posses the alcoholic gene.
if your desire increases you should go to an AA meeting.
(i’m not an alcoholic but i went in support of a friend) they really are good for the soul.
best of luck

depends on age and if you can drink to-not-get drunk (like have a beer and stop—-then on other nights get wasted). Most alcoholics can’t go out to dinner and have a drink and just stop there. Also another good indication is if you feel the need to sneak alcohol (like chug a bottle when no one’s looking—-or if you drunk yourself into a stooper by yourself. Either way, you could be an alcoholic—or just stressed out and need a drink to chill.
January 10th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Alcoholic is an over and mayhap an under used word. Question is: How do you act after you indulge?
January 10th, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Hi
Been one for years.
If you can go without it then no.
If you can’t its yes.
Amount has zero to do with it.
January 10th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
the guy that talks to invisible people is an alcoholic and a funny one at that
January 10th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
i dont think so…my father doesnt drink here at home since i dont let him cause he’s sick..but once he goes back to mom on the weekends he gets sooo drunk the whole 4 days that he’s over there ..from the moment he gets there till the last day before he comes back home…he drinks like six three packs of budweiser every day. for 4 days..once or twice a week is fine..i wish my dad would do that :”’(
January 10th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
It could. But the good thing is you recognize this. A drink a week isn’t a bad thing but the fact that you crave it can be. Talk to your family see if theres any alcoholics. It is genetic mostly. Don’t let it get become an addiction. If you find yourself drinking to forget your problems its time to seek help. You can even just check now at AA sites or hotlines to see what you can do to prevent anything from happening if your truly concerned
January 10th, 2010 at 6:56 pm
No, true alcoholics have a hard time admitting that they have a problem indulging in the so called “occasional” drink which is every day or every hour until it becomes a part of their lives & they can’t function without it. It’s becomes they’re liquid crack. But no you’re not an alcoholic my friend just take it easy & enjoy yourself you’ll be fine.
January 10th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
I don’t think wanting to drink once a makes you an alcoholic, it’s the crave and indulge that worries me, because if you crave and indulge then the alcohol is controlling you, yes you are on the border line on becoming an alcoholic, because if you have to ask, then you are probably drinking more then you are stating,,,,,,
January 10th, 2010 at 7:47 pm
sometimes is for present simple tense, this does not make you a real alcoholic, if you feel you do need it and you can not without it, that is an other thing, dear friend.
January 10th, 2010 at 8:46 pm
it makes you someone who does not know what to do with your time, or what to put in your body,
why do you alter your consciousness?? What is missing? Before you disagree with me,are you sure??? Maybe you are a hypochrondriac, or sociopath, perhaps a schizophrenic, could be?? But i have said nothing definate here. just a few thoughts revolving around this question, have a good day, peace and security i would look alittle deeper into the craving, aspect of your personality, craving goes a bit over the edge, with anything, no>>>”?????
January 10th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
No, alcoholism is when alcohol takes over your life. Your fine!
January 10th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
I crave a drink two or three times a week… and sometimes indulge it. Alcoholic? Hell no… those people have to attend them damn meetings.
I’m single, too.
January 10th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
No, having at least one drink a day is perfectly healthy for you. If you crave something in general, even if you yourself don’t want it (crave meat products even though you just ate dinner) it means theres something in that that your body needs. Thats why pregnant women crave weird things, they are needing something they are lacking because of the baby so they crave weird things. Not saying this is the same case with you, but yea. Having a drink once a day does not make you an alcoholic. You are an alcoholic when you need it and will do anything (or just about anything) just to get it.
January 10th, 2010 at 10:57 pm
No way, alcholics drink at least 4 days a week. Its fine to drink on the weekends and if your in you’re twentys than more its expected. its only when alcohol becomes a priority your life than you need to worry.
January 10th, 2010 at 11:53 pm
If you “have” to have a drink when you are craving one (no matter the frequency/amount), you want to be careful.
Bonus for you – you’re aware enough to ask this question, and that’s a GOOD, good sign.
If alcohol starts getting in the way of other things, then you want to get help. If alcoholism runs in your family, make sure your friends/family know they can help you keep an eye on your behaviors. They will see them before you do.
Most alcoholics don’t know they are. My father, who’s in prison and likely hasn’t had any in years… still swears he wasn’t. I don’t have a single memory of him sober.
January 10th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
a drink or two once a week is absolutely fine…..alcohol in moderation is fine…..some of us worry too much about everything…life is too short, have a drink or two a week and relax…
