Does anyone have a drink every night or do I have a problem haha?

I for the most part have at least two drinks with my dinner and when I get home from work every day, I very rarely drink to the point of drunk but I do like unwinding with a beer or vodka soda. Is that a problem? Does anyone else do that

I wouldn't call it a problem but 2 drinks a day is a bit much. It's ok to get drunk sometimes and it's ok to drink every day but the volume matters. 2 drinks EVERY day is a bit much but I certainly wouldn't call you an alcoholic. I would recommend you cut back to 1 of anything with hard liquor in it though. there's a big difference between a couple beers or ciders and a drink that's basically petrol. One drink every day is fine and two now and again isn't a problem either. 2 beers never gets me drunk I just feel calmer so if it just takes the edge off and you're not getting hammered or it's interfering with your life I think just a tiny step back would be all I advise.

I don’t. I drink maybe once a year. As for your situation. It depends. Usually for women if they’re drinking everyday as you say you are, one standard drink is what’s recommended for women va two for men to avoid long-term damage to the body. Standard refers to different sizes depending on what you’re drinking, such as beer vs liquor. I think it becomes a problem when you need it to function. Also if you experience withdrawals that could be a sign of being an alcoholic. Maybe you need to drink more or drink something heavier to get the same feeling you used to get from two drinks. Me sing your propane level is going up so you need more to feel that same buzz. Also if you’re starting to fall behind in your responsibilities, maybe missing work, problems w family, friends, etc. And if you’re drinking to cope w things emotionally.

I may have a beer on a weeknight. Maybe 2 or 3 on the weekend.

Lol I used to have dinner with wine every night and from Thursday to Sunday also have cocktails. I loved it but it was just not healthy, so I limit it now only to the weekends.
I don’t think you have a problem if you can stop whenever you want to and it’s not causing any problems in your life.

It's not a problem unless you can't function without it, or can't be in a good mood without it.

Well alcohol is literally poison so the more you drink the worse it is

It's already controlling your life and you're already an alcoholic

I used to but haven’t lately. Its not a problem unless it starts controlling your life.
