And in all of the wine countries from Spain to Georgia glass of wine with food is pretty much standard. Alcoholic countries?
Idk man, as a dry alcoholic for 7 years, i agree. If you can't go an extended amount of time without a drink, then you then you on the line! Interested to see how others feel 🤔 >

I agree with you. My mum was an alcoholic and when I see how people drink here in the UK, I can understand how easy it must have been for her to fall into that. People here tend to binge drink more at the weekends rather than every night but my sister in law for example has half a bottle of wine every single night and her husband a few glasses of whisky. My view is if you can't unwind without alcohol, then you have some dependency on alcohol. You are using that substance to alter your mind on a regular basis. >

No it's not even close to alcoholism. Alcoholism is waking up shaking unable to do anything without the sauce. Alcoholism is an actual medical term look it up before forming absolutely stupid opinions. >

Have you ever met a high functioning alcoholic? Sounds like you haven't. >

High functioning means they can still do tasks while drinking, live life, go to work.  not that they won't get sick without it, they will. >

A beer or two? That’s someone who’s unwinding and enjoying their meal. What part of that sounds like a physical or emotional dependence?
