Someone who can't say no. Can never have 1 or 2.

my neighbor, we call him drunkie 5000, dudes like 60, has cirrohsis of the liver, wakes up with a 12 pack, has another at lunch time, and another one for dinner, everyday all day 365 days a year, he is always holding a huge ass mug which holds like 9 beers in it, and he always is seen walking around the neighborhood with that dam mug, full of beer, he is such a dedicated alcoholic that he carries this mug, and a shoulder held cooler insulated type thing in which to keep his beers cold in the hot desert heat. Plus when he starts to get really trashed he starts having conversations with who knows who cuz he brain is prolly half mush by now, I mean when a doctor tells you your liver is shot cuz of drinking, I mean shot, and you still drink a case a day, to me thats an alcoholic. To the 5th degree.

Wow Wow
That's crazy. That story brought to mind at least 3 people, that's crazier.

I had a guy that worked in the cubicle next to me. Some days he would reak, and I don't know if that was all he was on. Anyway, dude used to leave a box of wine in a binder in his car. So when he went out to smoke, he would sneak a drink, so by the end of the day he's slurring and smelling... But you know what? Everyone just turned their heads. So finally it blew up when he showed up to a meeting drunk and was being beligerant, hitting on one of the presenters, referring to servers as servants, and interrupting the main presenter. So when they talked to him about it he got defensive and took his stuff. When he finally sobered up a couple days later he tried to come back but the company said no. Good thing is he checked into rehab and has been sober so far

eww yeah they do smell huh? my neighbor is getting so bad that his skin flakes off of his face, his lips are always jacked up, his stomach looks like its about to explode from a swollen liver, I already saw his future, he'll be dead within a year, bleeding from the esophogus when that vein ruptures or he'll die of dehydration or heatstroke from when he passes out on the streets here, he aint gonna be around much longer tho
NOW YOU KNOW YOUR A WINE CONNOISSEUR WHEN YOU GOT A BOX OF THAT CRAP IN YOUR CAR ALL WARM, NASTY MAN LOL!!!!

Loss of self-control.

If you can't discern whether you've had too many, chances are, you have.

If you drink on a daily basis, and keep telling yourself you'll stop and never do...

Someone who drinks an excessive amount.
However I would begin to define a problem with alcohol, as the point when you begin to crave it, like you would a certain snack or dessert.
