First of all, do you really only have only one drink a day? Do you get so drunk, you fall asleep? I'm not sure if you're a full fledged alcoholic, but if you think you may becoming one....stop drinking for a while and see how that feels. If it's ok, than you should ok...and enjoy a cocktail every so often.

I would purpoely not drink for 3-4 days and see if I could stand it. You can become and alcoholic without even realizing it and it is hard to quit!

The above person is wrong I was an alcoholic. There is a fine line between alcoholic and everyone else.. You have to ask your self a question can I go more than 2 days without thinking about a drink? If yes then your not an alcoholic. If no then you are.

Not an alcoholic on one drink a day, but if you start gradually increasing one day, and after time realise you keep getting drunk, you have a major problem. At the moment, you just enjoy a quiet drink, nothing wrong with that.

If it's just one drink a day that doesn't make you an alcohalic. It's no different than a man coming home and sittin back with a beer. Just don't let it get out of hand. And watch your liver......Lots of alcohal will eat away it. And don't drive after you have that drink. Other that, have fun!

lets look at this a different way...if you are on here asking then you are worried about it - therefore i would say there is a problem regardless of how much you are drinking!if it is the taste you like try making yourself non alcoholic cocktails instead... try not drinking for a week and see how you feel...there are all sorts of alcoholics..some can't stop once they start but may only drink every few days or once a weeksome people drink every day, or everytime they are in a certain situationsome people drink a glass of wine evey night with their meal... and may or may not be considered alcoholics..to me it sounds like a drink is what you use to wind down after a long day and in itself there is nothing wrong with this at all... just remember your friends are only worried about you and maybe seeing a pattern to your drinking you are not aware of..try picking a friend you trust and ask them to be really honest with you about it...

i think that your only an alcoholic if you have more then 1 standard drink per day !

1 drink a day its a little unnecessary. if you are doing it cause it makes you happy then you are perhaps on the road to becoming an alcoholic. judging by your statement you seem to be aware of what you are doing and have control over it. try not drinking for a day or two and see if you still feel happy.

nah, i drink everyday, and do so to the point that i don't remember portions of the evening prior. one glass is fine. you're not trying to get drunk; just catching a buzz. you don't NEED it, you just enjoy it. you're fine.

Alcoholism doesn't have ANYTHING to do with how much or how often you drink. If you have no control over your desire to drink (if it is the main focus of your life), then you may be an alcoholic, but you are the only person who can truly make that determination for yourself.

bebea · #12 25-06-2007, 20:05

If you drink a glass per day that mean you are a alcoholic drinker but if you drink more than 1 GLASS A DAY you would never stop.

If you are asking, you probably are.

Firstly let me say that is so cool and awesome of you to have the honesty that you are putting out into the public. I think that is so awesome. If you drink a glass a day for pleasure, assuming that you don't get drunk from those vodka glasses you are not an alcoholic. If in any fashion you feel that you have an addiction towards the substance than you are an alcoholic and you can seek help that is all over the place.In my view you are not a alcoholic, you are great gal who has a life and is taunted by her friends who are probably hiding thier own secrets. you are aren't an alcoholic, and the quicker you get that stuck in your head, the quicker you will be able to life your life.happy Drinking!!
