  • Yes they do, usually cheap high gravity brews (malt liquors) in the big king cans.

    Heck yes.  I know of two people that died as the result of alcoholism and they were both beer drinkers.

    Yes.  I worked for almost nine years in a drug/alcohol treatment center. Some of the residents there never drank hard alcohol or even smoke a cigarette.
    But, make no mistake: they are/were alcoholics.

  • If your need for beer rules your life ... sure you can be.  Beer is alcohol you know.
