    One beer with lunch and one wer with dinner does not make anyone an alcoholic, and I would be shocked if anyone could feel buzzed off of that.

    I have like two drinks a month, so I’m definitely not an alcoholic. I probably drink far less than average.

        You’re moving the goal posts. That’s a completely different conversation, and one that I’m not educated enough on to have a conversation about. The assertion was that averaging more than one beer a day makes you nearly an alcoholic, and I disagree. Having one or two beers with a meal per day doesn’t mean you are dependent on alcohol, and I think it really downplays what alcoholics go through with the mental and physical dependencies that are created.

        It’s really coming across as though you’ve never drank alcohol in your life if you think one beer a day really has this big of an impact.
