is it an addiction?

I drink every once in a while, but not a lot because of fear of my parents finding out. About, say, once every two months, two if my idiot friend spends the night. Im not addicted, right?
Oh yeah, three nights a week if a girl rejects me. I forgot.

once every two months? no. not even on the same planet as an addiction.

Nah, I wouldn't call that an addiction. When it's affecting your everyday life, that's when you should start to worry.

Just make sure you're safe. Don't drive under the influence, always have a ride home, stay with people you know, and don't drink so much you get sick.

You are not addicted I do not think. You are addicted when you DEPEND on alcohol like you drink every time you are upset or you NEED to drink.

people drink when they are upset,its human kind of natural. :)
agreed with above though.
addiction is like...once a day,or once for 5 hours,even further...and you cannot stop thinking when you might have the next drink. simply,you cannot put the addiction of your mind.

dont worry about it,you are completely fine.
