Well, let's just check in on a couple of things here because this is a complicated answer.

So first of all, the term alcoholic, that is a term

older term not used by the scientific community today.

So what we use now today is alcohol use disorder.

And if you're asking if I had alcohol use disorder in my life, absolutely.

Most people who binge drink have alcohol use disorder.

It ranges from mild, moderate, severe.

Not just binge drinking, but also daily drinking, all of those kinds of things.

Absolutely.

So do you want the exact definition of alcohol use disorder?

So the specific, because I can't do them all, we'll do it through here.

So mild is to have two of these, to consider two of these.

Moderate is four.

And then more than that, you have severe alcohol use disorder.

Yeah.

Craving beverages containing alcohol.

Okay.

Continuing to use these beverages, even though you're drinking, affects your relationship with your family, friends, and colleagues.

Drinking more than you intended or for longer than you intended.

Everyone's been there, right, at some point.
