feh...It is not what you drink, when you drink, where you drink, who you drink with, or how much you drink that makes you an alcoholic.
It is why you drink and what happens to you when you drink that makes you an alcoholic.
If you don't think you are an alcoholic you may be right. If you think you are, you are almost assuredly correct.
If this helps people who think they have a problem with alcohol then I am all for it. I am dubious about the drug's efficacy.

I just had a bottle of Yuengling lager. Screw these idiots and the Muslims too. Muzzies can get stoned on hashish due to no Koranic injunctions against it
They could probably save a lot of time and trouble if they just included it in each bottle of wine. After two drinks you would get violently ill and wouldn’t drink for the rest of the day.
feh...Think you drink a lot? This chart will tell you.
Just popped the top on Blue Moon #3. I wonder what this drug’s side effects are. Probably worse than alcohol!
2 servings of alcoholic beverages a day is a level of consumption correlated with BETTER general health outcomes than NO DRINKING AT ALL. Granted, that doesn’t imply causation; it might just be that the laid-back type of person likely to engage in such a pattern of drinking generally has a slew of other healthy habits, relationships, and stress-coping mechanisms that someone violently emotionally opposed to drinking is less likely to share.
To put that into perspective, the studies I’ve seen on maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy don’t even show the slightest statistical blip in infant birth weights cropping up until that level of consumption is passed; but due to a surfeit of caution it’s recommended that pregnant or nursing women abstain entirely.
So, what we have here is a level of alcohol consumption generally correlated with longer lives and better health, a level of alcohol consumption so mild and generally safe that it might even be on the threshold to be considered safe enough for pregnant women, and the British government is treating it like a disease and prescribing medication to combat it. That’s just a lovely use of a nation’s resources now isn’t it? Wage war on health, war on happiness, and charge the people higher taxes to do so.
