Alcoholism is an overused diagnosis. If a person comes home at night from work and has a few beers, watches tv, showers and goes to bed....they are an alcoholic according to "experts." If a person drinks a few evey night for no reason they are alcoholic according to "experts." Personally, I have a drink or 2, every day or 3, rarely and an occasional drunk thrown in. I guess that makes me alcoholic.

I used to be a drug and alcohol abuse counselor 1979-1981.

We classified a lot of people as alcoholic to justify our jobs.
