Answers:
Its obvious that you are a drunk cos you have been drunk EVERYDAY. Im surprised that people are telling you that this is 'ok'.
No it is not ok. Id say to drink 3 cans 1 a week or 1 every two weeks is ok. But to do this everyday is not right.
You are obviously a drunk. You need to go get help.Health Question & Answer

safe amount of alcohol consumption for men is 2 drinks/d, for women it's 1 drink per day, i.e. 14 or 7 drinks per week, respectively. More than this and you may be putting your health at risk.
if you answer yes to any one of the following questions, you may have a problem:
1. do you feel the need to cut down
2. do you ever feel annoyed when someone else comments or asks about your alcohol consumption
3. do you ever feel guilty about how much alcohol you consume
4. do you ever take a drink in the morning to make yourself feel better (i.e. hair of the dog)
5. do you black out regularly
6. have you ever had withdrawal, i.e. the shakes or an uneasy wound-up feeling if you miss a day

I wouldn't call you an alcoholic, but you're a habitual drinker and if you do want to cut down you could try breaking the habit by finding something else to do - an interest. I know it sounds boring but I'm trying to do the same at the moment. I tend to head for the pub with friends from work every evening and have about 3 large glasses of wine.
It's so unhealthy. But as I said, no I wouldn't call you an alcoholic.Health Question & Answer

I wouldn't say that you were an alcoholic unless you could easily change this regime. While this is far from the recommended amount, if you don't depend on alcohol, I would say that you are not an alcoholic. However Tennents SS tends to be favoured by alcoholics (among others). But the fact that you are questioning this is a great start. You just need to find a new regime to cut down, bit by bit. Hope this helps ;)Health Question & Answer
If you find yourself thinking you need a drink to get through a day, you need to drink to be comfortable in a social situation, you need a drink to get through stress, you need a drink to be happy, then you could be and probably are either an alcoholic or well on your way. It is a hell like no other, so get help as soon as you can.Health Question & Answer
It's not the amount of alcohol you consumer (although I guess you already know that this is too much) but whether you 'need' to drink.?
If you 'need' those cans or they've become so routine that they're an automatic requirement then you may have a drink problem.
I note for Wednesdays you're possibly going to have 3 cans - have none. If you can manage that there may still be some hope for you!Health Question & Answer

you become an alcoholic by two definitions:
1) you start having black outs. you don't remember when you were drunk.
2) drinking causes you to get driving tickets or miss work. or people start nagging at you about your drinking and you get annoyed by it.Health Question & Answer
