    Whew! I drink 4 or 5 beers daily and have for years. None of those listed markers applies to me. I don’t drink to get drunk, just to relax.

      This alone qualifies you as an alcoholic. You can kid yourself all you want. Your body will catch up with you.

      A downvote doesn’t change this.

      Both of the last two apply to you. As do the second and third.

      You meet at least 4 of them. Your alcoholism is “moderate”. And that’s assuming you’re being honest with yourself about the rest.
