Is drinking two beers a day considered alcohol abuse

I think its abuse when it interupts your everyday life and you cant function without having it.

What if tomorrow you decided not to have any beer? Would this be difficult for you? Could you go a month with any beer?

 

[AngelDove1]

All the above asnwers I agree.

Some people get drunk on 2 beers.If its mind alterating.
Than it just might be abuse.
You can't think straight,focus.Chances are.
If you depend on it to get your sleep or to deal with lifes issues.
Just might be.Your depending on it,then yes.

If you are dependent upon those 2 beers and cannot go without you are addicted. You may not be an alcoholic-nor may it be alcohol abuse but you are dependent which is not a good thing either.

Is drinking two beers a day considered alcohol abuse?

Do you consider yourself an alcoholic? Do you think perhaps you might have a problem? Its on you rmind to wonder if it is. The quantity depends on the person. The quantity is different for each individual as to what would be termed abuse or too much. 2 beers a day for you may be what 2 six packs a night is for someone else. But if you are an alcoholic, 1 beer is one too much.

Theres good advise in the quotes of this thread:

If you're worried you may be addicted try to go without drinking for a while. If you're unable to do so or it changes your mood/attitude to be without it, it might be worth looking into with a counselor or checking out some AA meetings or something.

You can ask yourself that question after choosing not to drink those 2 beers tomorrow.What happened? I'd go by your thoughts after the fact as I have thought a similar thought myself pertaining to drinking. It comes down to.....do YOU need it?

I read somewhere that an alcoholic is one who drinks, screws things up and still keeps drinking. That's one definition. There are many. And as with everything else in this world, we all have our own definitions.

Cheers.

I spent several years drinkling probably no less than 5 pints on a weekday, plus more fairly frequently.

But frankly, unless it causes problems in your life, you could drink 30 pints a day and it wouldn't be abuse.

The time spent drinking those pints takes away from the time that could be spent being available for family. Add on top that alcoholism is progressive and it will be seen that as the number of drinks increase so does the time spent away from doing anything of lasting value. Childeren growing up in those sort of families will attest that even though the parents were physically present they were not available emotionally because they were too busy having a relationship with the alcohol.

My .02 cents

Maybe I was drinking WITH my family.
