In many occasions a normal human being might be deviated from normal behaviour when one began to acts unecessarily. E.g myself for instance back then in primary school i came back from school to see palm wine at home with sweet tast.My younger Sister went to kitchen and brought a drinking cup and then poured her own and drank then i did the same but my own fulled to the brim of the cup and threatened to return some to the container my younger one began to shout on me threaning to report to my parent on that fear of reporting i forced my self to finish the wine. After two minutes of drinking i got drunk and did not know myself until my parent returned to revived me back to a normal human being. So in this condition it happened to men even family men and women. In a case where they do celebrations you would observed that the first group of uninvited guest are naturally alcoholic based. Because during the celebrations they would drink untill the celebrations is over. Their mode of communication would be poor and their mouth would be smelling alcohol. Even in high school, alot of students who may have been influenced by their peer is not an exception to this behaviour.

Is every drinker considered an alcoholic?

No, not at all. Meanwhile humans has taken advantage of joy gotten from the alcohol to abuse it. A lot of people drink it, even in our tradition when a normal alcoholic drink is not presentable no body would be agile or being ready to do anything. But if we are to drink it we should drink it responsibly.
