How do you know if you are a alcoholic?

Well, both my mother and her b/f were alcoholics. So I know what I'm talking about. If you're dependeant on it, yes you are. If you feel you can't get through one day without drinking at least once, then yes, you are an alcoholic. I don't mean to come off nasty here, and I'm sure you've heard it before too, if they really were "Friends", they will respect you when you choose not to drink. Listen, get off of it, you can't just quit altogether though. The best course of action would obviously be to get in touch with AA. They can help you better than I can. Also, a good way to kick the habit is by doing it. Just gradually step down with the nuber you have until you no longer feel obligated to drink. Drinking is no joke man, DONT F WITH IT. IT CAN AND EVENTUALLY WILL TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. I've seen it.

alcoholic: Don't drink any alcohol for a week. If all you can think about, the entire week, is being glad when the week is over so you can go back to drinking, then yeah, you're an alcoholic. If you don't make it a week, you already know the answer.

your an alcoholic when you need a drink not just want one. When you start looking forward to a certain time of day because you know you can start drinking, that's when you have a problem.

no. you are a follower. you should not care what others say or think. you need to slow down though for sure. there are serious health risks involved.

if your never sober answer my question need help by a males

Maybe and maybe not at all. I suggest you seek professional advice. It is not too late now. God Bless!

when you stop you'll know .if your the type to jump off a building because your mates say to give up college your taking up space

no you are not . If you let your buddy talk you into drink what else can they talk you into to doing. you have a mind of your own why let them tell you what to do. you are in college you must now what you want. big deal if they call you a pussy or anything else. its your life don't let them live it for you. when you have to have a beer ever day then you got a problem. but is they harder drinks that are not good for you and can burn a hole right threw you stomach and have to put on pills. beer just messes you your liver and have to walk around with a piss bucket on your side. get your head on straight and say hey i don't feel like it and put on a set of headphones and not listen to it and they will leave you alone. gl

You may not be an alcoholic yet, but you will be if you continue on the same path. There is so much out there besides hanging out with your friends and getting drunk. You're friends shouldn't be giving you **** because you're not drinking. Honestly, it is not good to drink all that in one weekend. Are you really having fun? Take a break, because before you know it, in a few years, those weekends of drinking will turn into a habit, and you will be drinkining because you are an alcoholic.
