entropiii	I have been asking the same question about myself lately. I dont drink in the morning, I have never missed work or driven while drinking, but I drink almost every night between 2 to 5 drinks. It also runs in my family. I think its possible to be what they call a "functioning alchoholic". I guess if you cant stop even for just a few days or even slow down then it probably is a problem and could definately get worse. Keep an eye on it for sure. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Terri B	Yes, that person could still be an alcoholic.

Yes, this sounds like alcoholism to me. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

eed1936	Speaking as an alcoholic who hasn't had a drink for over 16 years, there are a couple of very non-scientific question that might indicate if the person is an alcoholic or not. Can that person, on a regular basis, walk away from half of their second drink, and when they drink, do they stop before they get drunk. Alcoholism isn't so much how often you drink, it is how you drink. An alcoholic CAN'T stop drinking once they start. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
