At what point are you an alcoholic?
Like, you drink a whole bottle of wine because it tastes good, but you do that maybe once a month. Is that alcoholism?

Being an a formal member of the al/ck/ club requires you to need booze. Not that you want a cold beer, but that your body is having a reaction due to the lack of alcohol you are consuming.

The answer to you question is no. You are an alcoholic if you can't not drink if that makes sense. I tried dialing back down from booze to 5-6 beers for a couple week a night and couldn't sleep without sleeping pills.
Also, the gas I had was on par with chemical warfare gasses
