Someone who gets drunk every night (or 4-5 times a week)?

Someone who can't drink just 2-3 drinks? Must get blasted every time?

Someone who gets drunk alone?

Someone with 1 or more DUIs?

Any other definitions?

If you have control of your bladder, you're OK.

Many people have their "wake up call" with a DUI but I think a person can be an alcoholic and never get behind the wheel

Why do you need to stereotype people?

If you need help, get help. Otherwise, frick off.

You're only an alcoholic if your life sucks.

All of the above. Plus people who drink before noon regularly. Breakfast beer = alcoholic.

Ever lost a gf/wife, house, vehicle, job from the amount or times you were drinking? Did you change/fix it after identifying it?

If not, I think you are an alcoholic.

That's just my unscientific definition.
