Does drinking 50 light beers a week make me an alcoholic?

I drink just over 2 cases of keystone light a week and keystone light is mostly water but my wife says I am a alcoholic. I think she is wrong because I dont feel like an alcoholic.
I am retired and my hobby is drinking beer.

~7 beers a day? No, but if you add any shots of liquor to it, then maybe a little alcoholic.

I have a good friend that drinks about that many Budweiser Selects (55 calories) a day, but it's not like he gets hammered. Just takes the edge off.

Yes, you are a drunk.

I had (note the word had) a buddy who would drink 6-8 Buds any given day after work and probably 15-20 on the weekend. He never got drunk! He also dropped dead in his driveway at age 50.

That sounds great! I do not want to go to a nursing home but I am already 64 years old. I used to drink a lot but now two thirty packs lasts me over a week. I have seen some people die in the nursing home and I really would prefer to go out like a burned out light bulb and drop dead in my driveway or while sleeping.

60 beers a week at age 64? How much did you drink before you cut back?

That's one advantage of being a very light drinker. I can get buzzed off 2-3 beers and then I stop. #4 is usually lights out!

60 lasts me about 8 days now but I used to drink 90 to 100 a week in my 40s and 50s and back then it was miller high life, not light beer like now.

Keystone light is 4.2% alcohol.
Drink 4 in an hours time and it will fuck you up.

Be a proud alcoholic. Drink with pride. Being drunk is better than being sober.

Most of all, don't be a quitter.

As long as you are not driving after, party on Wayne.

Just make sure you get a full physical including blood work every 6 months since you are an older fella, to make sure you catch any bad shit happening before it gets worse.

One relative of mine made it to 96 with a similar drinking fashion (he would drink whiskey with a splash of water and allow himself 4-5 good puffs off a cigar and put it out daily- then go outside and take a long walk thru the neighborhood for fresh air. He was on his feet walking (slowly but hey he got around and could shuffle to the corner store).

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees too.

If you depend on drinking to help you cope, then you ARE an alcoholic!
Even if it's just one drink a day!

How do you treat your wife when you have been drinking?
That is the bigger question.

Oh lord.

So you mean anybody who says I want a glass of wine is an alcoholic?

I'd say an alcoholic is somebody who can't function without drinking and is drinking when they wake up in the morning or at work.

OP assuming you are drinking 12 oz lite beer at ~3% EToh that would be ~80 units of alcohol a week - the recommended maximum intake is 14 unites per week. So you are at 6x the recommended intake.

OP will likely suffer from greater the risk of developing or experiencing serious problems such as:

Liver disease (cirrhosis or hepatitis).
Cancer.
Gut and pancreas disorders.
Depression.
Anxiety.
Sexual difficulties.
Muscle and heart muscle disease.
High blood pressure.
Damage to nervous tissue.
Serious accidents.
Obesity (alcohol is calorie-rich).

Lots of AA meetings around here

Alcoholics have a disease which is alcoholism. You can be alcoholic and drink a lot less, drunks have an irrational need for the alcohol which non alcoholics can't understand

My friend drinks 50 -60 Bud Lite beers weekly. Bud Lite is 4.2% alcohol content, while regular Bud is 5% alcohol content. He drinks without eating any food, as he claims he cannot eat and drink at the same time!! He claims he is not an alcoholic, naturally. But he cannot, and will not, stop. He likes it, as it helps him sleep. He only gets drunk if he drinks 8 - 10 in one night, less than that he is not drunk. He also enjoys daily orange juice, and coca cola, and then wonders why he has so much gas. Now, he is 73, and has been doing this for decades. He is now losing weight without trying, has no appetite, and is exhausted and weak, as when he does eat, he eats fast food only, and refuses fruits and vegetables. How much time do you think he has left? (No, he did not vote for Trump!)

It isn't the amount you drink as much as it is what the alcohol does to you when you do drink. If most of your fuckups are done because you are too drunk to know better than you have a problem.

They have these people called 'doctors.' Why not check with one of those? 8 beers a day every day - most people dont drink that much water. If you think you can change his drinking know that you cannot. Tell him there are meetings all day every day in this area, they are free and confidential.
