Hi ! You don't have to drink every day to be an alcoholic. There are "binge" drinkers who drink perhaps once a week, but when they do, they drink alot! Those people are most likely alcoholics too.
It's not how much or how often you drink that matters. It's what the alcohol DOES to you -- it changes you & makes you say & do things you wouldn't normally do. Plus many times people drink to numb the emotional pain instead of dealing with the problem. Many times we just don't KNOW how to deal with the problem, so drinking is easier!!
Alcoholism is a progressive FATAL disease, but we can stop it in it's tracks. We have that power. I think if I were you, I'd do some reading on AA or else go to a couple of meetings and hear what they have to say. It can't hurt. You can take what you like, and leave the rest. But if you continue drinking like you're doing, nothing GOOD will come of it. You're harming your health, plus you're not dealing with issues that are bothering you.  Remember that alcohol kills -- the liver just cannot stand much of this.
I wish you the very best. Please keep us posted on how you're doing. God bless. Hugs, Lee
