If your personality changes or if the drinking is having a negative effect on your life, I would say you were an alcoholic.

If you drink four to eight beers every night, then yes, probably. In a traditional sense: you're dependent on alcohol to get through every day. On the bright side, it doesn't seem like that much alcohol, depending on how much you weigh etc. Maybe try cutting down.

You are an alcoholic if it is affecting your relationships with others, your job, etc. Also, can you quit drinking, or are you helpless against drinking? These are the two major questions to ask yourself.

It depends. Can you stop? If you are able to put down your beer and never drink again you're not. If you can't you're an alcoholic.

I think you should answer that question by not drink at all for a few nights. If you don't feel like you have to have beer or you will go crazy, then you are fine. If you can't do without it, then you are an alcoholic.

An alcoholic's body literally needs alcohol. A true alcoholic can not live without alcohol. Without it they go through what is called dts or delerium tremors. They will do anything they have to to get the alcohol that they crave.

If you are beginning to wonder if you are consuming too much alcohol, it's probably a good idea to cut back, if only for the sake of your health.

It's not how much you drink its how it effects you. If you drink daily for any length of time you may be alcoholic or on your way to becomming one. If you stop it can stay in your system 7-10 days, see if you can quit or contact A.A.

An alcoholic is someone who has an uncontrollable compulsion to consume alcohol. Depending on the circumstances of your four to eight beers daily, the answer may be yes or no.
