many different signs most of which have been answered. drink to function, drink before noon, drink alone, drink daily, high tolerance to booze, aggravated easily when sober, relies on alcohol for all social engagements, drinks large amounts on a regular basis often to the point of blackout, as said before it pretty much boils down to whether or not alcohol interferes with their ability to socially interact and take care of responsibilities, also if their drinking interferes with the majority of their relationships. etc.etc.

Technically your last sentence has several errors. It is a fragment - it needs a subject. Also, it would need to be "and we will be getting somewhere." You are asking him to do something, which must happen in the future.

Now, back to the "friend" who is an alchoholic. I would suggest that you attend an AA meeting, so that you can report to your "friend" on your new perspective.

I would never correct someone's grammar, other than in the case of someone trying to appear righteous and better-than-thou. The irony was just too much for me.

As far as I am concerned, there is only one Book, and that is the Book of the Lord. Taking a note from Him, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." Luke 6:31 Additionally, "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12

As I said before, I have one, the only one I will ever need. Through it I shall find salvation, and comfort in the Lord. Perhaps you yourself should make a commitment to Jesus, and learn to live for others instead of yourself. In Jesus, even you will find forgiveness and compassion. I can recommend a site with people standing by ready to assist you in your journey. http://www.mormon.org

you're not an alcoholic unless you have a college degree.

Until you graduate, "college student" is a synonym for alcoholic. or at least that's my motto

As for alcoholism; he won't accept it as a problem if he doesn't see firsthand that it is one... and he won't see it firsthand without some help. Videotape him while he's wasted (and don't show him any epic footage, just the shit that is ruining his life) and convince him he needs help. AA meetings won't do shit if he doesn't want to get better.

Does he....

...wake up in jail?

...seriously injure himself on a regular basis in alcohol-related accidents?

...completely destroy long-term relationships with friends or women when drunk?

...become violent or physically abusive?

...commit crime for the sole purpose of securing alcohol?

...drink at work?

...begin the day with a shot or beer?

If none of these match your friend, chances are he just likes to party and is a pretty cool guy. Alcoholism is a serious affliction that destroys your life. Alcoholics will become physically ill if they do not consume alcohol.
