Ummm… one bottle a night can’t be good for you at all! Definetly sounds to me like you have an addiction.

I think you should read your own question…one factor would be that you have to hide it. Another would be and you drink every night. Most people have one glass, not one bottle, and not every night either. If there have been times where you were so intoxicated that you couldnt remember what had happened, then chances are you have an addiction.

Not really,you nut really an alcoholic
an alcoholick is drink wine one bottle per hour in my opinion!
alcohol can reduce sperm!just like smoking!
it can make u sick!
reduce drink alchohol until once per week!

If you think you’re an alchie, you probably are. It’s not the amount you drink as much as it is your behavior when you drink. And people that aren’t wasted don’t lose their shoes and have blackouts, so let’s not kid each other here, okay? I can’t help you if you’re not gonna be straight with me.

I’ve been going to AA and been sober 14 years now. And you’re right, it is full of liars (but aren’t most drunks liars?) and for that reason I left for a while, but I realized that if I went back and stuck with it at least there would be one honest person there, me. Eventually I found others like me and we formed our own little support group outside of the structured AA meetings. And AA isn’t for everyone, they readily admit it in their “Big Book”, in the very first chapter. AA’s not a cure, only a treatment, and like many diseases, there are different treatments that work better for some than others. So if AA isn’t for you, find another way.

If you CAN’T stop, it’s an addiction. That’s the key. Hiding alcohol and drinking alone in and of themselves don’t make one an alcoholic, but not being able to control one’s self is. AA is strange, but it works for some.

What is wrong in your life that you feel a need to drink?

It’s obviously interfering with you life.
When you’re not in control of your life you need help. Doing things you wouldn’t normally do is another sign that you are not in control.

Don’t let the fact that you don’t get “wasted” trick you into thinking you’re ok, you’ve just built up a tolerance.

If you have to ask and if you are ostracizing yourself from others in order to drink…. then yes, you are an alcoholic.

Not everyone in AA is strange nor lying…. you’re also in denial. Get help somewhere… even if it’s not AA. You’re wasting your life living in a bottle.

one bottle a night plus hiding out when u are drinking so no one sees u plus pretty much everything else u explained definitely means there is a addiction to alcohol… u dont have to go to AA meetings to recover from alcoholism.

Alcoholism is a term with multiple and sometimes conflicting definitions. In common and historic usage, alcoholism refers to any condition that results in the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages despite the health problems and negative social consequences it causes. Medical definitions describe alcoholism as a disease which results in a persistent use of alcohol despite negative consequences. Alcoholism may also refer to a preoccupation with or compulsion toward the consumption of alcohol and/or an impaired ability to recognize the negative effects of excessive alcohol consumption. Although not all of these definitions specify current and on-going use of alcohol as a qualifier, some do, as well as remarking on the long-term effects of consistent, heavy alcohol use, including dependence and symptoms of withdrawal.

While the ingestion of alcohol is, by definition, necessary to develop alcoholism, the use of alcohol does not predict the development of alcoholism. The quantity, frequency and regularity of alcohol consumption required to develop alcoholism varies greatly from person to person. In addition, although the biological mechanisms underpinning alcoholism are uncertain, some risk factors, including social environment, emotional health and genetic predisposition, have been identified.

yea honey I think it is…and your friends should be real friends and not push you away for it, they should help you out. AA can seem strange, but they can really help you too.
