[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 552456, member: 1550"] This is in response to Nancy's post.I I agree with you. An alcoholic can never learn to drink responsibly. The definition of an alcoholic is not that they drink every day, but that they CAN NOT drink without getting totally drunk. They have no ability to moderate. That means that once you have a problem with alcohol, you always will and have to abstain. I don't know the definition in other countries, but I believe THIS definition. If one can control his/her drinking one does not have a drinking problem in my mind. Suzir, since you will not tell us where you live, I am thinking your country has a different opinion of addiction. I would not agree with it. That does not mean it is wrong, it means I just don't agree. I am guessing that a country when drinking is extremely culturally the norm (even moreso than in the US) would be motivated to soften what they believe an addict is, but, then again, have no idea where you live or if this is true or totally false...lol. Just speaking my mind as I am never shy about doing :) [/QUOTE]
