A member asked:

I drink 2-3 bottles of (500 ml) strong beer three times a week. is this ok? am i alcoholic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: If the drinking is causing any problems for you, e.g., trouble with your friends or family, and you drink anyhow, you would be an alcoholic. If the drinking does cause any problems for you, than you are not an alcoholic.
