if you are a recovering drug addict, does that mean you would also be an alcoholic?If you were addicted to drugs, does that mean that you would become addicted to alcohol, sex, and other vices? Or is it possible to be a drug addict and be able to drink alcohol and not be an alcoholic? Does being presently drug addicted make a difference verses being a recovering addict? How can you tell if someone is an alcoholic?

No. In fact in my younger days when I hung around addicts, sometimes they would get away with it for quite a long time without family and friends finding out because they were either non-drinkers or they would be the type to trust as 'designated driver'. Because they didn't get into booze many people thought they were clean. It is very very common for those who are addicted to prescription drugs to steer clear of alcohol.

No, many people can still drink, but are addicted to other drugs. And alcohol is a drug just so you know...
and being presently addicted vs recovering is.. well obvious. One, you aren't trying to stop. The other you're trying to get help and stop doing them.
You can tell someones an alcoholic cuz they're always drinking.
