Is this considered an alcoholic?

Question

I know this may sound like a dumb question because I’m sure i already know that answer but i just want to be sure since im so desensitized to it. My mom is functional but she drinks 2, 60oz bottles of vodka a week. How bad is that?

Answer

Yeah, that’s a lot of alcohol. This is coming from someone that is active in AA. I didn’t drink that muck regularly , but would sometimes get wasted when I would drink. Just because people are “functional” does not mean that consuming large amounts of alcohol is not a problem.

Answer

Definitely alcoholic.
My dad was a high functioning alcoholic, and would drink no less than a 6pack of bud light every single day. He never really drank hard liquor, beer only, but he was still an alcoholic.
My grandmother was a textbook alcoholic, would start her day off with vodka and orange juice (which eventually turned into straight vodka or whiskey).

That is a huge amount of alcohol per day...and definitely a problem.
