Some people just drink occasionally while others are permanently drunk. Where is the line between the two categories of drinkers? Note that both of them like alcohol.

There is a very thin line between. I for one had to reevaluate my life after several people not related to me started describing in detail my ability to drink copious amounts of alcohol without seeming inebriated. My Fridays and Saturdays were spent in Nairobi West or Vibro club drinking from around 8pm to 5am ndio niende home. Unafika kwa nyumba kama hutingiki wife anafikiria umetoka kutombana ndio maana wewe sii mlevi.
Another time tukiwa kwa house warming party nikakaa kwa corner Na mzinga ya Gilbeys. By 11pm when the decision to change venue to town was made, mzinga ilikuwa imeisha na tukaenda town for more beers.
My rule of thumb is if at any moment you miss an appointment or get late for work or fall back on your obligations or get in trouble with the law as a result of alcohol, jua umeruka the thin line uko Ile side ya alcoholics.

Na sisi watu wa wine 
coz the last time I quit beer & hard liquor was like 8 months ago.with my age I used to get crazy hangovers & overall productivity went down.
So adjusted to a few glasses of sweet red wine kwa local watching futaa but sometimes I buy kwa supermarket(birds & bee sweet red wine bottle) & It can stay for over a week kwa man cave before it goes empty.its all about discipline & self control.

Easy. If you can’t go for a month without drinking alcohol, then you have crossed that line.
That means if you have not gone for at least one month without drinking alcohol in the last 5 years, you are an alcoholic.
Kuna jamaa you will go pamoja to drink and watch a game on a friday evening. After mechi they say goodbye wanaenda home.
Then kuna heavy drinkers. Those will end up in nightclubs wakimaliza mizinga mpaka morning.
But they will be no alcohol for them maybe until next month.
Alafu kuna maveteran. These ones will drink from that Friday til Sunday evening going to work the next day wakinuka pombe. These in most cases end up as full blown alcoholics. Ugonjua mbaya sana.

I know people who’d have such severe shakes they couldn’t even sign a name. Thought they had finally unlocked liver cirrhosis followed by liver failure. What a way to go.

Do you know that wine has more alcohol than beer. Typical beer is 4% alcohol, while wine is 13%.
You are still a alcoholic.

Alcoholic has to drink to stay alive ata chakula heri ikae.
Drinking for leisure ni yule atakunywa labada holidays pekee yake or parties.
Kuna occasional drinker hajakunywa for months but ile siku anakuywa hawezi control

The difference is whether you drink alcohol in amounts that you would never think of drinking if it was water, juice or any other beverage. Would you ever consider drinking 2 litres of water or juice or soda on your own? Never! So if you find yourself drinking 2 litres of beer on your own in one sitting, my fren, you are an alcoholic.

Let’s say you drink that two liters only once per month or even less frequently. Are you really an alcoholic? I think this term has been blown out of proportion
