There are two of them that are always talking about how messed up they are going to get or how hung over they are. They make comments like "I'm about to open one up now....... can't wait another 40 minutes". I'm sure they drink every night! Today they were talking about how the store had dented beer cans and they were stocking up on them. People that have an addiction usually don't think there is a problem. So my question is when is a person an alcoholic? I'm sure these people will say they can stop anytime, but I don't think they can.

Alcoholics go to meetings. Drunks are everyone else.

If a man can't walk in a straight line, than he's an alcoholic.

No, he's an alcoholic when he starts going to meetings, and starts blubbering about how daddy wouldn't teach him how to play little league ball. Buying cheap, shitty booze, makes you a wino and a drunk.

When does a drunk become a rummy? When incontinence comes into play?

But it still tastes cheap. It's like putting Cohiba rings on the Phillies that you smoke.

An alcoholic says they can quit anytime rather than trying.
