Question by pandabunny: what percentage of americans are alcoholic?
by alcoholic i mean someone who is dependant on alcohol and is not able to quit without some sort of serious effort.
by alcoholic, i mean someone who experiences PHYSICAL withdrawl symptoms when trying to quit. if you don’t get headaches, the shakes, nausia, mood swings, etc. when you have not had a drink in 2 days, then I don’t think I would consider that “alcoholic”.
