Whether you are or are not an alcoholic doesn't concern me as much as what I want you to know about the damage to your liver.
Too much of anything (regrettably, even sex!) is not good for you.
I love red wine, too.
But I only drink (at the most) a glass of two (8oz. each) a day, and with food.
All that alcohol is taking a toll on your liver.
And if you are a chick, it is even far worse.

If you aren't careful, you'll be looking for an organ donor (like David Crosby) because of all the damage to your liver.

Alcoholism is not indicated by the ability to hold your drink, it is indicated by the inability to go without drinking. If you NEED that bottle of wine every night, then you are probably an alcoholic. Try not drinking for a week or two and see if you crave the alcohol. If so, you may have a problem.

Unfortunately for you, yes! People who have a high tolerance to alcohol usually wake up some time down the road as full blown alcoholics compared to the people who get smashed at a half a beer. They at least see it coming!

have you tried NOT drinking the wine for a few days ? Eight glasses of wine every night over a prolonged period is definitely not going to do you any good.

Being able to drink more without feeling effects is not a good sign, but really watch out if you start having less tolerance, that could be a sign of liver damage.

I believe that if you have more than a few drinks, everyday, then you probably are an alcoholic...with a high tolerance. Try going for a few days to a week without drinking.

Many Europeans drink three bottles a day and don't get drunk, just sleep it off. But telling from your spelling something is wrong or "wheezy" with you ... so don't kid yourself, take a break and straighten up.

you don't need to get drunk to be an alxcoholic,but you must drink lots on a regular basis. i personally do not see the harm in wine

You don't get drunk because you've built up a tolerance for it, which is a hallmark sign of alcoholism.

Nah.....just drink something stronger! Try Crown Royal. You are just immune to wine now.
