Is this once a month or everyday.
The real question is can you really quit and not NEED the alcohol.
I would agree once in a while is OK but higher frequency would be a red flag.

10 beers

over

6 hours

Does not an alcoholic make, especially the watered down beer such as Busch (said with a smirk), nor is it a flag.

With all due respect, that is a poor generalization. Some people can handle drinks and others can't. Charts. Good grief, KML.

Now, I'll give you a comparison. I'm 6' and 185 and over a six hour period 10 beers are childs play. However, if I were drinking that beer I may puke out of, for lack of better term, disgust. Am I an alcoholic? Not in the least as in this past week was the first I've drank in a few months - and in a similar time period there was easily 10-15 beers plus mixed drinks. Not falling down drunk, either. There are so many factors to include activity levels, water intake, food intake, etc. Six hours is nothing.

I'll give you an even better comparison. HQ is 5'5 and around 125-135 at most...and she matched my drinking and wasn't falling down drunk. There is no way in h@ll she can be considered an alcoholic, either.

The bottom line is 10 beers over six hours is roughly 1.7 beers and hour. Food? Water? Physical activity? All factor in.
