That really depends. I don't think someone who has always enjoyed a glass of wine with dinner every night is necessarily an alcoholic. Many Europeans (and some Americans) enjoy a wine or even a beer with their meals. Not my taste personally, I've never liked the taste of alcohol but some enjoy it. And, let's face it, life is meant to be enjoyed.
Generally, I think that if alcohol is negatively affecting your life, finances, job, family life, mental & physical health and you are unable to quit, then you may be an alcoholic. You can google phrases like "Am I an alcoholic?" and get lots of quizzes to take to find out.

if a person depends on a drink everyday to get through the day then yes.. I rehabbed in 86 and went through the withdrawal ect..any amount can be addictive.. for some alcoholics. it only takes 1 beer.. for others .it take a lot... if a person goes through any changes without it, they are a n alcoholic

Medically yes. There is no need to drink every day. Some people like to drink a beer a day, which is an habit, but at the same time is creating dependency.

a person is only an alcoholic if they drink despite the consequences (ie bad relationships, passing out, health problems, etc) that come with drinking. the frequency that they drink doesn't matter that much.

Yes, any person that drinks on a regular basis and frequently is an alcoholic.

The person is if they can't go with out alcohol. But if the person can actually control it then no. But if they keep this up, they will soon become one.

I would definately say that there's an alcohol dependency. Slowly stop drinking so much and not such strong liquors. Slowly pace yourself and hopefully this problem will no longer be a problem.
