How much do you have to drink to become an alcoholic?

If I drink sometimes can i become an alcoholic ?

  • I don't want to become an alcoholic, two of my aunts on my moms side of the family were alcoholics and I think some of my dads uncles were alcoholics and my mom and dad drink alot so could i become an alcoholic if i drink every once and a while

  • Answer:

    since it does run in the blood-line, your chances are extremely high. just be careful on your drinking....such as,for exp: you start drinking because your in a good mood,bad mood,escape from reality.....regardless, its awesome that you are concerned for yourself....and want to take caution because of your family history....i applaud you for knowing the danger of alcoholism. Alcoholism is one of the worst diseases out there....ive seen it kill many,many people i loved, and the death processes is horrific. Ive seen cancer be a "kinder" form of slow death than alcoholism. any more questions, please let me know. Take care. -mary

yes, anyone can become an alcoholic. alcoholism is a horrific disease. It destroys families and lives. I just buried my ex husband a year ago he was an alcoholic and was only 45 years old. He lost his family, jobs, and eventually lost his life.

Yes, your chances greater because of your family. There are support groups for family and friends of alcoholics. They really help! Try Al-Anon: http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/

Well maybe..but a lot of people enjoy drinking and if your a responsible strong willed adult you should have no problem managing your drinking habits.

I think you worrying about being an alcoholic will prevent you from becoming one.

You never know. If you start drinking alone watch out. If you drink when you're unhappy red flag. If drink to get sleep -wake up!
