No they don't? You have a drink problem if you become dependent on alcohol and can't pull yourself away from it, that's addiction. Making a conscious choice to drink every weekend but knowing if you wanted to you could stop and have a break from it does not mean you have a drink problem

Yes but there are genuinely a lot of people that could and thus that doesn't make them alcoholics. You're assuming that anyone that drinks on a regular basis doesn't have any self control, doesn't know what they're doing and can't regulate themselves. That's actually quite patronising
