Am I Alcoholic or not?

Question

I drink a quarter bottle of spirits (vodk, gin. brandy, rum) almost every not, atleast every other night. It's only at night and I can function normally without a drink in the day. But it's like I can't sleep without a abottle of something, and it's been going on nearly 2 years. I'm hiding bottles and forgetting I've hid them from my housemates only to find them days later!

Are these the typical actions of an alcoholic or just someone who has a fondness of alcohol? Please help people, thank you.

Answer 1

If you have to ask, then you probably at least have a problem with alcohol.  Nobody but you can determine whether you're an alcoholic or not.

Answer 2

you are a functional alcoholic. when you are ready hun, please get some help. I understand, I enjoy having a drink as well, but when you are hiding it, thats a concern. Just remember, you are not alone.

Answer 3

Yes.  Now go suck some kokane

Answer 4

If you feel like you need to hide it then then that should be your first clue. I'd def say they are typical actions of an alcoholic or an addiction, if you need it to sleep. I'll be honest, I smoke weed, and I need to to go to sleep. It's an awful habit and lately I won't smoke before i go to sleep, or eat, just to break myself of it. And obviously you have consciously know you have a problem, that's why you have posted it and asked for second opinions, hoping someone will say, no that's normal, have another. be careful, cuz once you are a full blown alcoholic.... not cool. and also, hard alcohol is the worst!

hope i helped and haven't offended

Answer 6

What is a quarter bottle of spirits?  Sorry, but I don't understand.

Answer 7

If you feel the need to hide your habit, alarms should be going off--also the fact that you are worried about it says you know it is an issue.  

Answer 8

you are showing some symptoms of alcoholism but your not a full blown alcoholic YET try and cut back.
