If somone has a family history of alcoholism, drinks daily, but is never violent when drinking?or drunk, could that person still be an alcoholic? Is emotional unavailability a sign of alcoholism?
Fantasia: To answer your question, yes it is affecting my life and I'm not even the one doing the drinking.

Thank you all for your answers, they have all been very helpful (so far).

Yes, that person could definately be an alcoholic. And to answer your other question, yes, emotional unavailability can be a sign of alcoholism.

Yes. You just described me to a tee. Good work! ;)

Answer by cyanne2ak
Yes indeed they could be, and probably ARE an alcoholic. Drunkenness and violence, though side effects of alcoholism, do not define the disease itself. For more information please contact your local chapter of Alcoholics Anonymous.
