My mom and dad have wine with dinner every night, are they alcoholics?

Officer Response

If your parents drink an occasional glass of wine with dinner, that does not make them alcoholics. An alcoholic is someone who is unable to control him or herself and has to drink alcohol.

Parents Response

Drinking a glass of wine at dinner doesn’t make them alcoholics. When they start drinking lots of bottles of wine I would start to question things.

Kid Response

Maybe not, but they surely aren’t too smart. Drinking alcohol is stupid, it’s really bad for your body and most people feel sick after they drink.
