Ah- this may be the problem.
You seem to equate alcoholism with alcohol abuse, and they are very different. YOu can abuse alcohol and not be an alcoholic, but most alcoholics have probably abused alcohol.

Also I find this statement to be rather astonishing, and a very presumptuous and I suspect inaccurate generalization. I saw you bring up this definition early on in a reference to "dry drunk", but now you are applying to every alcoholic, and if you are going to do that, you will need some sources.

Their behavior is self-centered, grandiose, dishonest, short-tempered and belligerent. They frequently lie, even about things which don't matter and even when telling the truth would be more beneficial. That's not what most people are like, but that's an alcoholic, even while sober
