No, I don't think we do. :) this is just... a topic of mine. It is such worlds apart and very dangerous. Someone can stay drunk for a time because that is what everyone around them does, or they go through a bad patch in life, whatever the reason. If they are lucky, they get through it without terrible harm to themselves or others and life goes on and maybe they can drink normally some day. But for an alcoholic to say "well, it was just a bad time and I've put life back together and now I can drink"... boing, it's all over until they drag themselves out of the bottle again. Very scary stuff for alcoholic. There is NO one drink.

pages 20-22 if you wish to take a look. :) It is what the Big Book has to say on what constitutes an alcoholic.
