Would you classify a woman as an alcoholic if she always goes drinking with friends when she is stressed out about life? Could be from work or getting in a fight with her boyfriend for example. Everytime something is bothering her she stops at the liquor store and picks up some beer or a bottle of wine and goes to a friends house and drinks while talking about her issues.

Not to her face :). Seriously, if you gotta shop for booze first and find someone to drink with, you're probably not that far gone.

How many times per week is this occurring, and how much alcohol is being consumed?

For the sake of argument, let's say she does this once a week and drinks a bottle of wine when it happens.

I wouldn't consider this person an alcoholic.

Simply put, the lifestyle of the Real housewives of Orange county. Thats how they roll. First opportunity they have to go out for dinner and bitch about their husbands not fucking them enough, they run off to a fine dining establishment and bitch for 4 hours to eachother over wine.

Yeah I'd say they are alcoholics.

Maybe a steroid/bodybuilding forum isn't the right place for you??? You seem to need just a general chat room. I think people use Quora for stuff like this.
C'mon bbbg.

There ain't a whole lotta places people like us can go for advice.

Quora wouldn't understand our predicament.

So he asked a fair question.

It depends.

Possibly, many forms to addiction and alcoholism.

If she is dependent on it for any reason then she is.

An alcoholic isn't a just a wino bumb drunk 24 / 7, an alcoholic doesn't have to be drunk on the job or every time you see them, most don't even know who the alcoholic's are in their lives until they learn what one truly is.

Denial doesn't just come from the effected person but others around them also.

Usually it starts out like this. Socially drinking is one thing but finding ways to escape issues will lead to turning to booze for other issues. If this is a significant other I would try to nip this in the butt now before it escalates which that in itself can be a very slippery slope. If addiction has set in and they’re not ready to deal with it what you might think is doing good it’s usually the opposite for the other person with the addiction .

I would say they are money whores with too much time, plastic surgery to keep there aging hanging tits and faces from sagging, plus husbands that are fucking other women. That’s why they drink…

Depends. Can she walk away from it? Bad habit, sure. A alcoholic can't just walk away. Personally when I'm stressed as hell I hit the weight and pour 3 fingers after. If it effects your day to day life That's a problem. If she is getting up early and getting after it trying to improve things.... Probably not a alcoholic.

The biggest sign,to me personally, of an alcoholic is if they can handle the booze with grace or if they fall apart and act like an idiot.

My mother in law is a life long alcoholic. She drinks a little brandy every day and a lot when things dont go her way. Takes percs too. Needless to say she has offered her family many opportunities for embarassment and shame. Her behavior has hurt everyone around her, including her grandchildren.

The gal youre describing probably has a problem and if she never decides to make a change, its gonna get worse before it gets better.

Not an alcoholic in my book. I had a drinking problem for many years. The people in AA didn't classify me as an alcoholic but rather a heavy drinker. I was able to quit drinking without attending a lifetime of meetings. The person you describe doesn't sound like anyone from AA. The women I met in AA would put away about a gallon of vodka a day. Every time I'm stressed out about life I eat an edible but that doesn't make me a pothead. An alcoholic has an addiction and the person in question is only drinking when stressed.

Slic.
