Alcoholic | Alcohol Abuse Advice

Question by MC: What’s the definition of an alcoholic?
I go to AA now because I’m trying to drink less and work through some other addictions (food, LOST (lol) exercise, facebook… to name a few (no drugs)), but I don’t necessarily think I’m an alcoholic. Sure, sometimes I have too much and get belligerent, but I think there is a difference between having a ‘drinking problem’ and being an alcoholic. I probably drink one glass of wine 2-3 times per week, and go long periods (1-2 months) between getting drunk, especially because I’m in grad school and I just can’t afford to be hungover and off my game. There are bottles of wine in my house and I have absolutely no desire to drink them as well. I guess I’m trying to figure out of I just need to face the music and have a big piece of humble pie, or if all those people in AA asking me to introduce myself as “Hi, I’m so and so and I’m an alcoholic” are wrong, because I don’t want to call myself something I don’t think I am.
