Recent SOH question has got me thinking. Does having one drink a day mean you may have an issue?

I think if you HAVE to have something every day it's a problem. My father was a functioning Alcoholic. He went to work everyday, did yard work, everyday things but he drank everyday. He never seamed duchess because his high tolerance for alcohol

I can't say I have a beer or wine a day out of necessity. I simply enjoy the taste. I can't remember the last time I was impaired. Usually I have something to drink with dinner. Sorry about your dad.

To the point where he will pass out on the street, piss the bed on a reoccurring basis, would miss work from hangovers, and would have no problem showing up at work straight drunk. It's weird to me that both can be considered alcoholics, but like the

Moderation is a huge deal. I think anything in moderation shows that you have control and do not have a problem with becoming lost in your addictions. Sorry for rambling, I'm trying to wake myself up xD
