Only if you can't stop yourself from drinking.

One drink a day, depending on the drink (wine or dark beer) can actually be healthy. The problems start when you drink excessively. I think the definition of alcoholic is someone who has to have a drink in order to get through the day or feel better or some other excuse, and if they miss that drink, they will go into withdrawls. I suppose it is possible to be an alcoholic even it you only drink one a day, but where is the harm in only one drink? Just make sure that one drink doesn't multiply.

Maybe. I used to have a bottle of wine a day and then often some scotch afterwards for over a decade, but I had no problems if I went for days without drink, too. I cut down a lot later on - love does miracles.
So, no, if you dont feel the urge to drink and if you're totrally OK without drinking for days at a time.

Depends on what you mean. If you have 1 alcoholic beverage per day, probably not. Alcoholism is a disease; ask yourself if its damaging your body or your personal life.
Unless you mean 1 type of drink. If your 1 drink for a given day, for example, is whiskey, and you polish off a bottle that day: Then yes, you have a problem.

Possibly. Some people are only weekend alcoholics and then there are alcoholics that go on a 3 day binge once a year who are considered alcoholics too.

Yes. My friend had the same problem and he was an alcoholic. He drank once a day as well. Especially, if you drink alone often.

You don't have to get stupid drunk every day to be an alcoholic.
If you can't do without that one drink a day, then yes, you're an alcoholic.

You're an alcoholic if you think you NEED to have 1 drink per day.
Otherwise, you're just getting your swerve on.

No. Try 4 glass of Martini mix with Beer. Now that's alcoholic.

A alcoholic can not go 0 days without it.
So if you can not miss one day, or your body so craves it, then you can be considered a alcoholic.....
