Most alcoholics drink a lot of booze but you don't have to drink a lot to be an alcoholic. It's how you handle the drinking and what it represents to you. Like the doc said a while back - it's the 'ism' that gets you.
Having grown up around a full blown alcoholic, I know there's no way in hell she could come anywhere near control. The vast majority will never be able to turn back the clock.
