Q: if i drink 2 alcoholic drinks daily (standard us drinks) will i experience alcohol withdrawal if i stop?

: Two drinks a day is not what would be considered and excessive amount of alcohol but don't go driving immediately. Unless you experience a hankering to drink more you are probably not an alcoholic, why don't you abstain and see how you feel and then make up you mind and ask again!
