If they drink lots of booze each day, throw up in the Louie XIV Steinway at least once a week, and scream at the TV, then they are alcoholics. jr

There are different warning signs that you can look for like,
Drinking more heavily when under pressure, or after an arguement or disappointment
Waking up, and not being able to remember part of the evening before
Sneaking extra drinks when at a social gathering
Feeling uneasy when in a situation that alcohol is not available
Feeling guilty or worried about your drinking
Continuing to drink after others have stopped
Trying to control your drinking by switching brands
Avoiding other people in favor of spending time drinking
Problems at work arising from drinking or hangovers
Having a drink in the morning in order to get over a hangover
Feeling chronically irritable or depressed
In general, as the saying goes, "You know you have a drinking problem when your drinking causes problems". These problems may be on the job, in interpersonal relationships, or emotional.

If they drink alcohol---they are alcoholics.
If they purchase alcohol and drink it recreationally, and regularly as a way to stop being thirsty---they are alcoholics.
My father is an alcoholic, he drinks it during lunch---all the way past dinner. If your parents like to go out and drink, try different alcohols, get drunk, push past the limits, I would say that they have a problem. If they always bring alcohol with them to family functions, drink it at restaurants, etc...same as before.

Do they drink early in the day every day? Do they HAVE to have a drink every evening (if they can skip a day or two that's a sign they are NOT alcoholics).

the best advice i can give you is check out Alanon and Alateen websites for more information...
when a person has an alcohol problem, his life is normally affected in some ways -- his job, family life, he doesn't take care of himself, or things which are important anymore. personality changes occur.
i hope things work out for you.
hugs

Do they go to AA meetings? If so, they are probably alcoholics.
