You guys are so full of crap it’s pathetic, many alcoholics maintain daily!

A hard-drinker is not necessarily the same as an alcoholic - no sane person could ever drink the way I drank - for long.

Drinkers and even heavy drinkers maintain.
The commonly held definition of “alcoholic” implies problem drinker.
A problem drinker is not “maintaining.”
I “maintained” until I didn’t.
