Am I an Alcoholic?

I usually drink 2-3 time/week...sometime less, but thats about average. there have been times where weeks or months have gone by where i didn't have a drink and i was fine. I dont crave alcohol and never have any during the day...

Sometimes, from a stressful day at work or just to relax and unwind, i have a drink...I mainly drink Rum and Coke.

Am I an alcoholic?

hello. like ibi said, it's not how much or how often you drink, as much as what happens when you drink. what prompted you to inquire about the possibility of a problem?     gm

You are for sure on the verge of being one.  Just the fact that you have to ask makes me think you are one.  I can say that because I am one too.  It took me 53 years and almost dying to admit that.

When i drink, i usually put 2 shots of rum and fill the rest with coke. I'll usually have 2-4 drinks when I do drink. for example, it's been 5 days since my last drink and I dont crave or think about it...however, sometimes, I do find myself looking forward to going home and unwinding with a drink...so, i dont know...
