Firstly let me say that is so cool and awesome of you to have the honesty that you are putting out into the public. I think that is so awesome. If you drink a glass a day for pleasure, assuming that you don't get drunk from those vodka glasses you are not an alcoholic. If in any fashion you feel that you have an addiction towards the substance than you are an alcoholic and you can seek help that is all over the place.
In my view you are not a alcoholic, you are great gal who has a life and is taunted by her friends who are probably hiding thier own secrets.
you are aren't an alcoholic, and the quicker you get that stuck in your head, the quicker you will be able to life your life.
happy Drinking!!

Anything alcoholic tastes gross to me. I thought that you had to develop a taste for it. If you are questionning here, it seems you may be concerned about it. Why not try to NOT drink for 2 days and see how you feel. If you crave it badly, I would say you're beginning to be addicted.
If EVERYONE says you're alcoholic, then they must have all noticed how much you drink.
Do you gush about how good it is (kinda like that Sandra lee chick on the Food Network who's always giddy when it's cocktail time)?

lets look at this a different way...
if you are on here asking then you are worried about it - therefore i would say there is a problem regardless of how much you are drinking!
if it is the taste you like try making yourself non alcoholic cocktails instead... try not drinking for a week and see how you feel...
there are all sorts of alcoholics..
some can't stop once they start but may only drink every few days or once a week
some people drink every day, or everytime they are in a certain situation
some people drink a glass of wine evey night with their meal... and may or may not be considered alcoholics..
to me it sounds like a drink is what you use to wind down after a long day and in itself there is nothing wrong with this at all... just remember your friends are only worried about you and maybe seeing a pattern to your drinking you are not aware of..try picking a friend you trust and ask them to be really honest with you about it...

Not an alcoholic on one drink a day, but if you start gradually increasing one day, and after time realise you keep getting drunk, you have a major problem. At the moment, you just enjoy a quiet drink, nothing wrong with that.

If you are only drinking one glass a day and drink it not to get drunk but because it tastes good then it is very unlikely that you are an alcoholic. A true alcoholic would probably never stop at one single drink. The people that say you are an alcoholic are most likely wrong.

Well most people drink a glass of wine a day so if your drinking just one a day, then I would say no. But my advice...never use the sentence "I just wanna drink it because it makes me happy" that usually a good indicator of addiction.

Alcoholism doesn't have ANYTHING to do with how much or how often you drink. If you have no control over your desire to drink (if it is the main focus of your life), then you may be an alcoholic, but you are the only person who can truly make that determination for yourself.

1 drink a day its a little unnecessary. if you are doing it cause it makes you happy then you are perhaps on the road to becoming an alcoholic. judging by your statement you seem to be aware of what you are doing and have control over it. try not drinking for a day or two and see if you still feel happy.

I don't think you are but you're certainly headed down the wrong path. Most alcoholics would never be able to stop at just one drink. I know you drink because you like the taste but you shouldn't have to have one everyday. Try drinking some fruity virgin cocktails throughout the week. They taste good too.

The above person is wrong I was an alcoholic. There is a fine line between alcoholic and everyone else.. You have to ask your self a question can I go more than 2 days without thinking about a drink? If yes then your not an alcoholic. If no then you are.
