I don't think I'm an alcoholic in the sense that I can't go without it though I'm sure I would be diagnosed as one due to my habits.
I can and have easily gone days without it and I'm fine. I don't get shakes or any other withdrawal symptoms. I don't drink during the day and I don't get drunk. But certainly that's what any alcoholic would say right
Hell I don't know, the definition is vague.
