As I being an hard recovering alcoholic, you do need help because it doesn't matter, if you are drinking about a half of a bottle of wine. The fact is you're doing it every night and can't go a day with out it. That is one of the symptoms of being an alkie. Go to support groups or to treatment, which ever is best.

No your not if you can live with out it my friend.. Its all over the news and scientific outcomes on how a glass a wine can be very helpfull to the human body especially with cardiac problems. Now more than One glass a wine per day can actually lead to a serious problems putting your heart and liver at risk. Im a wine drinker and enjoy to have myself a glass most days..But know when to limit my drinking. Im not sure if your married but if you notice problems at home from your drinking I would do my part to stay off and show your spouse that you can control your drinking. And that your infact not an alcoholic if you can demonstrate a decrease in your drinking. There are other ways of dealing with that being an Alcholic but first you must see if you can do with out it. Put your self through a rehab test where you are your own boss. And put yourself to the test..forget the AA meetings that just talk and concern show your wife and yourself that you can do this...Good Luck

No, you are not, if you are drinking genuine Georgian wine. Never tested before? Go to www.georgianwinehouse.com and order some bottles of this fabelous wine. You will discover absolutely different quality and purity for good prices. You will forget about french wines forever. Honesly, of course you are not an alcoholic, if you are not dependet on it. I love people, having understanding of wine. Especially red wine, every night by 1 glass will help you stay healthy for a looong time. Be well my friend. God bless you.

Half a bottle is only 2 glasses which is a safe amount to drink per night. If you can't go without it that is the problem. Perhaps try to only have one glass or if you don't mind the taste water it down with mineral water or tonic water so you still have two glasses but only half the wine.

Possibly, but then again maybe not.
Scientifically we know alcohol is healthy, and more specifically wine, especially red wine due to its antioxidant properties from a chemical known as resveratrol.
There is some theories in the scientific community that it may be a helpful factor in lessening the risks of heart disease, and it may be the important ingredient in the healthy "Mediterranean Diet".
But, the key to getting any health benefits from alcohol lies in drinking it in moderation! What's moderation?
About 2 glasses of wine for men a day, or 1 glass a day for women.
So I would suggest, if you're exceeding this it may not be a healthy habit, and in fact the opposite is true. As we exceed this limit health benefits go down and health risks go up.
If you feel you have to drink, and get drunk, it is better to stop completely as you'd be addicted, and possibly do harm to yourself in the long run, as well as to others.
At that point professional counselling would be indicated, as well as joining self-help groups, such as 'Alcoholics Anonymous.'.
Hope that helps,

You are a qualified alcholic if you just have one glass of wine ever night at dinner. So yes drinking a half of bottle of wine everyday would make you an alchoholic.

No, you do not need help. But you should not increase your intake and you should have at least one wine free day a week, preferably two days, gives the liver a chance to catch up.
The latest reports say that one or two glasses of wine per day is beneficial for males, females just one glass, more than that is harmful.

If you can not go with out it and your realize this...than you have a problem. You don't have to be drunk to be an alcoholic, but if you have to have a drink than you are on your way...hopefully this is a recent phase?? Don't know but if I were you I'd but the bottle down and sort things out. Good Luck...

you are the only one that can determine if you are an alcoholic.
if alcohol is making you miserable enough to ask this question then why drink? there are places that can help you determine if you are an alcoholic. Attend an AA meeting or look online for chat rms with alcoholics. And tell them whats going on! they will help you.
