When my partner suggested I was a wino I protested; one glass a day does not make a wino does it? He then asked me if I was prepared to walk a mile in the rain for a bottle of wine and although I told him I wouldn't, the reality is, I would. Coming off that one glass of wine was actually quite difficult but once I realised it had become a need and not an occasional indulgence, I knew I had to stop.

I started a thread about this haha... Is every French person an alcoholic if they have a glass with their evening meal, or is is a cute cultural custom?
