By the time you realize you're addicted it's to late. I've been lucky with alcohol (tobacco not so much) I can get trashed one night (or all week depending on a calibration) with friends, they can leave booze in my fridge and it'll be there a months later.
My g/f would drink few glasses of wine after hard day at work and I'd join her. I was the bottle opener After a while I started noticing that this is becoming a little to casual so I let her know in a form of a joke. She responded as though it was a problem and toke immediate steps to curtail it. She would even report to me when and how much she had. I did not think she had a problem. We never got drunk on weekdays or even weekends. Red wine is good for you in moderation.
In my understanding social drinking is having a good time with 2 or more friends. I can go to a bar and not drink at all (bartenders hate me lol) However when I get %$&! faced I'm having a good time. Everyone around me are happy and just as drunk. So in essence social drinking to me means a huge party.
