Just wear a condom when you drink them. That's the only way to prevent catching alcoholism.

Perfect amount. 3 ounces of hard liquor, 2 12 ounce beers or 10 ounces of wine are all good for daily consumption.

Nah, unless it's affecting your job/relationships.

If you drink everyday, you are an alcoholic outside of a glass of wine with dinner and a even that is pushing it if it's every single day.

Alcoholism is when drinking affects other areas of your life. If you're waking up too hungover to perform your job effectively, it is an issue. If you're drinking two cocktails but still getting everything done in your life and it isn't affecting your relationships, you're fine.

Alcoholism is a dependency on alcohol. If you find that you cannot function without drinking every day, then you may have a problem that requires assistance. Alcoholism is not a number. There are plenty of alcoholics that drink only on Friday and Saturday nights. The rest of the week they do not touch alcohol, but their life revolves around those drinking sessions and getting to those sessions every week.

I dunno...but being honest about 2 a day consumption will definitely make your healh insurance & life ins rates go up.

I sure as hell hope not.

when I read the FBD thread I kind of wonder about some of the folks hammering down "craft" beers at 11am during the week.

I was once told by a wise man...
If you look forward to a drink, drink in a social atmosphere, enjoy a drink at the end of a long day,
and can go a day or more between drinks, etc. -- you are not an alcoholic
An alcholic depends on alcohol, cannot go without it, and drinks even without the enjoyment, lets it affect other areas of his life and is always looking for his next way to get a drink

I drink beer everyday. I only drink liquor 4-5 nights a week. So, the way I look at it, I only drink 1 or 2 days a week. Which is nice...

So you asked if two cocktails a night was too much. You get answers and then you start fighting withe everyone calling them names.
What was the original purpose of the question? If you are having issues with your drinking go seek help, don't fight with everyone about an issue that is different for each person. There is no one statistic that makes someone an alcoholic, it really comes down to needing a drink as opposed to enjoying a drink.
Sounds like you might be on a bender and are looking for someone to either tell you what yo do or to forgive you. Either way a message board is not the place and you clearly do not have thick enough skin to handle the ribbing you are getting for you obvious attention needing post.
