Question by ♥me♥: Is my friend an alcoholic or just a social drinker?
So, I have this male friend who is currently 22. We shall call him “Kevin.” “Kevin” started drinking at the young age of 14. “Kevin” has stolen to support his drinking habit, claiming he only stole booze because he couldn’t buy it legally, and no one would purchase booze for him. He has also stated he drinks to avoid his feelings. “Kevin” drinks until he passes out, forgetting parts of his evening. “Kevin” has driven drunk, risking his own life, as well as many others. “Kevin” claims to only be a champion social drinker, as he calls it, while he binge drinks every weekend. Is “Kevin” an alcoholic or just a champion beer drinker?
I’m sure “Kevin” knows I posted this question, and No, I’m not Kevin!

boozer in the making
Wow….do you know me? Hahaha! My name isn’t Kevin but that sounds like me. It’s obvious you are worried about your drinking habits…(come on now; the whole “friend” thing is so cliche) and I tell you this. Embrace your alcoholism. I have. I basically gave up my wife and kids for scotch and beer.
2 terms for the same meaning. A social drinker is an alcoholic in the making.
Good thing you gave your “friend” a made up name, seeing how he will catch you asking about him! LOL
Alky.
denial is the first sign of alcoholism. your “friend” is an alcoholic. champion beer drinkers dont steel booze to support their drnkng habit alcoholics do. even in my early stages of alcoholism i knew i was an alcoholic. you always come up with ways to justify it. “kevin” is an alocholic dont let it get out of hand. alcohol is a hard thing to kick so if you know about it early on try and do something about it then. i wish i had.
this Kevin doesn’t exist does he, anyway yeah this ‘Kevin’ (COUGHS) is abusing alcohol to the breaking point (breaking point being alcoholism)
it sounds more like alcohol abuse, which differs from alcoholism. if i were you i’d research it a bit more to find out what you might be able to do for him.
I think kevin is an alcoholic, he not a social drinker, social drinkers never drink to hide their feelings, I think you should advise him to take any alcohol rehab program to control his drinking and driving under influence is a crime, avoid it, you can get your license canceled.
