How is that not alcoholism?

• astura 8mo ago
  Having 2-3 drinks on a Friday night is "alcoholism?"

    2-3 drinks on a Friday night isn't. 2-3 drinks on a Friday night when you're supposed to drive home is different. I'd also say "I can drink because the law is wrong" is also not exactly a neutral take.

      Ok, but it's not alcoholism, it's something else (disregard for others)

        Precisely! There are two key components: - I believe the law is overly proscriptive / strict / wrong. - I believe I won't get caught It's no different to someone speeding because "It's clear conditions and I consider myself to be perfectly safe at this speed". Or skipping a stop sign "I can clearly see nothing is coming".
