Rethinking Alcoholism: Do You Need to Drink Daily to Be an Alcoholic?

Is it possible to be an alcoholic without drinking every day? This episode of 'Recovery Partner Network' tackles this common question with a deep dive into what defines alcoholism. You'll hear about the guidelines set by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which suggest that moderate or low-risk drinking is up to three drinks per day for women and up to four for men, with weekly limits of seven and fourteen drinks, respectively.
But does sticking to these numbers mean you're in the clear? The episode sheds light on the complexities of alcohol dependence and how it varies from person to person. Whether you're questioning your own drinking habits or concerned about a loved one, this discussion offers valuable insights into understanding alcoholism beyond just the numbers. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation that might just change how you view alcohol consumption and addiction.
