I believe there is a self test you can take on the Alcoholics Anonymous webpage.
Medical Doctors and licensed psychology councilors can help diagnose it also.
Since alcoholism is a disease (See American Medical Association Web Pages), it is not a result of bad character or "poor breeding". Just like for a diabetic, there is no reason to be ashamed about having Alcoholism. When people recover from alcoholism, they stop making the bad choices that are caused by their judgment being very impaired when drinking. Thus they can live happy, normal, respectable lives like anyone else.
The more alcohol a person drinks at any one time, the worse their judgment is affected, no matter who they are. It is a proven physical reaction to alcohol on the brain's proper functioning. So…"If you drank as much as I did, you would do the ridiculous things I did".
