Alcohol Abuse Advice

Question by Jade Poe: my friend and I are having a debate on what constitutes being an “alcoholic”. opinions?
she says it’s if you can drink nearly a twelve pack of beer and still walk in a straight line to get another than you’re probably an alcoholic. so basically how much you drink and the higher your tolerance to it.

I think it doesn’t matter how much you drink and how well you hold your booze, but whether or not it’s if you can function without it on a regular everyday basis. if it’s not something you crave all the time (kinda like a cigarrette craving). like if you have to have two or three beers in the morning to be able to function well, then you’re an alcoholic.

what do you think?

Question by Riggs: How to deal with a controlling alcoholic OCD Dad?
My Dad is making me lose my mind.

I’m 19, go to a community college (am in my second semester), get mostly As and some Bs… my parents pay for my schooling. I appreciate it everyday!
I’m an aspiring audio engineer… i study every aspect of the profession on a daily basis. I have a 100 average in all my Music classes thus far and have been told by my engineering teachers that THIS IS the path for me.
-I work 25+ hours a week at a grocery store but am starting to actively look for internships.
-I’m in a jam band with 9 other friends (on drums). We chill nearly daily, play disc golf, motivate each other to achieve our dreams, and go out drinking and partying on weekends. None of us are reckless… none of us do “hard drugs”… Most of my friends smoke weed, but I haven’t in months because it makes me too lazy. I just stick to the weekend brews, by personal decision.
-I paid for my car with my own cash.
